Modeling with a salt paste.
Grebennikova Elena is a teacher of children's club " Victoria" in Vladivostok.
Elena and her friend Tatyana Maiorova were occupied with children's creative work. They focused a great attention to modeling some things with salt pastry.

This fascinating work is easy for everyone. A salt pasty' s history has been known for ages. Some figures, made of pastry, were found in ancient Egypt. The pattern or figured spice-cakes have always been traditional in Russia. Elena and Tatyana are keeping on these traditions, including their rich imagination. They showed their mastery on March'16, 2000.

It was a demonstrative lesson for Japanese and Korean diplomats' wives. There was Chizuko Hirose - Japanese consul' s wife. The meeting was showed on local TV program. During two hours Japanese guests were carried away with art of pastry's modeling . It was the first time when some of them made a pastry and then created funny figures with their own hands. The lesson was finished as traditional Russian tea- drinking with pancakes and pies. The children (students of Victoria club) were communicating with guests. It was a very useful language practice for them.

Receipt for a paste.
You will need: flour, salt, vegetable oil, water and … your imagination. Mix flour, salt and water as follows:
   1 glass of flour
   1 glass of salt
   0,5 glass of water
   1 glass of vegetable oil

Mix it and make on the board as a paste. Put it into refrigerator for two - three hours. Then you can model with it. If you have a rest after modeling you can pack it into the polyethylene and keep it in until the next time.

グレベニコワ・レナさんは、ウラジオストック(ロシア)在住のア−ティストです。 塩を混ぜた小麦粉を練り上げて創作される作品は、ロシア伝統造形美術の奥深さを感じさせられるものばかりではなく、かわいい小動物などの現代的なキャラクタ−も含まれています。
 
  小麦粉を用いた造形美術の歴史は古く、古代エジプトでもその存在が確認されています。粘土とは異なった、その独特の質感が、永い時を経ても受け継がれていく理由でありましょう。
ここにある写真は、レナさんが友人のタトヤナ・マイオロワさんと共に、日本と韓国の外交官夫人のために行ったデモンストレ−ション・レッスンの模様です(2000年3月16日)。HIROSE・Chizuko日本領事夫人の姿も見えます。この催しは、地元のテレビでも紹介されました。

 子供達の創造性を高める教育プロジェクトにも携わっている彼女を支援するため、この度ヒュ−マンアンドジオサイエンスがその作品を輸入販売することになりました。  レナさんの感性を強く感じることができる、ロシア伝統造形美術作品をぜひおひとつ手にしてみられてはいかがでしょうか。
