We present to your attention the participants of the International Festival “By Hands of a Woman”.

On October 15-17, 2021, in Moscow, within the framework of the International Business Platform “Woman of the Third Millennium”, the 3rd International Festival of Folk Arts and Crafts “By Hands of a Woman” will be held, at which the State Educational Institution “Engels Boarding House for the Elderly and Disabled” will present an exhibition of decorative works made by the hands of special masters with mental health disorders, for the second time.

The public will be presented with works in three directions: artistic forging, interior textile dolls, and paintings.

The organization of applied creativity of residents of the Engels boarding school is conducted under the guidance of experienced craftsmen in the forms of clubs and creative workshops: sewing, where women create interior dolls and original textile products; locksmiths, where craftsmen create forged products according to sketches; art, where unusual paintings are painted in various techniques of execution in a cozy home environment.

The children’s works attract attention at various exhibitions and competitions, as well as decorate the territory of the boarding school. In October 2019, the works of young masters were highly appreciated at the Fair of Crafts, Fine Arts and Inclusive Creativity “World of Special Masters”, which was held in Kazan as part of the V Festival of Rehabilitation Programs for People with Mental Disabilities “Others?”. In November 2019, the children took part in the 2nd International Festival of Folk Arts and Crafts “Hands of a Woman” in Moscow, where they became laureates of the 3rd degree.

This year, the young participant of the locksmith workshop became the winner of the photo contest “Without Borders” organized by the Resource Training and Methodological Center of the Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University in the category “I am a professional” in the category “A person-an artistic image”.

Creative teams have their own traditions. So, the children from the locksmith workshop annually present the residents, employees and guests of the boarding school with large-scale figures of the upcoming New year for the New Year holidays. This year, the territory of the three buildings of the institution was decorated with forged bull figures, decorated with festive illumination.

In the Engels boarding school, all conditions are created for the preservation of active longevity and a full life of residents, self-realization and the development of creative potential. The institution has 36 clubs and creative associations of various directions: folk and modern dance, fine arts, literary reading, theater and cinematography, healthy lifestyle, applied arts for men and women.
