Woodcarving in the style of "Tatyanka" was created by Sasykov Shamil in December 1990 and patented as an invention, named by the author in honor of his wife - Tatyana Vladimirovna. Now "Tatyanka" is a family company, in which, in addition to the author, his seven children also work: they manage the production of tools, organize deliveries, engage in online sales, administer the site, create drawings and ornaments, typeset and edit textbooks, teach at the Tatyanka center .

The youngest type of wooden carving is, invented in the 90s of the last century, a method called "Tatyanka". Woodcarver Shamil Sasykov, who developed the original technology, gave it a name in honor of his wife Tatyana. Since the end of the past 20th century, the popularity of the author's carving method has grown to unprecedented proportions, and now it is one of the most used, even special schools have appeared where people of different ages study Tatyanka's methods. One of the advantages of this method is that, having mastered it, a novice carver will easily understand the principles of other types of woodcarving.

The peculiarity of the method lies in the fact that special tools are used for Tatyanka, which, thanks to the principle of single processing, allow you to create decorative elements from wood. The same forms, obtained by the method of relief carving, are created by an experienced craftsman within a few hours, the method of Shamil Sasykov allows you to spend much less time on them, without applying significant physical exertion.

For carving in the Tatyanka style, almost any type of wood, both hard and soft, can be used. Special tools, if they are well sharpened, can easily process any material. However, sharpening tools should be done taking into account the characteristics of a particular type of wood.

The Tatyanka carving is multi-layered, so the process of transition from one stage of work to another is very important. If the elements of the first layer are not cut out of sufficient quality or are not completed at all, then the subsequent ones will not be able to lie correctly and beautifully. When cutting through the lower fragments of the pattern, difficulties may arise if the upper ones are already finished, since access to the base without damaging existing elements will be difficult. And even if painstaking efforts, in the end, are crowned with success, and the bottom layer is reached for processing, there is little chance that its drawing will turn out to be expressive. In order to optimize the work process and exclude damage to the layers, it is necessary to thoroughly study the cutting stages, consider the location of the parts and the sequence of their reproduction. One wrong move and an incorrectly cut element will be impossible to restore.

Carving has long been associated with a particular area. For example: in the north, where walruses are found, this bone-based needlework is developed. In places of stone caves and deposits of semi-precious stones, the art of their processing is widespread. Due to the large areas in Russia occupied by forests, woodcarving is widely developed. There are many methods of this needlework, and more recently, another one has appeared - artistic wood carving "Tatyanka".

The history of the origin of woodcarving begins from the time when mankind only learned to use and process this material. This is due to the fact that at that time it was the most accessible and widespread material. Even in the distant past, our ancestors knew that wood has very valuable qualities, namely:

• water resistance;
• thermal insulation;
• low density;
• varied texture pattern.

In addition, many types of wood are very easy to harvest and process. In the old days, almost all buildings and household utensils were made of this material. Since ancient times, people have tried to decorate their lives by creating masterpieces of woodcarving. Moreover, this method of needlework developed in many countries, which left its mark on unique features, techniques and styles.

Wood carving not only adorned household dishes and buildings, but also carried a deeper ideological meaning. The simplest geometric flat-relief works were the first to appear. When decorating their home, the craftsmen hoped that in this way they would protect it from the influence of evil spirits, while attracting the bright forces of life, fertility and longevity. In addition, they created small figurines of gods who guarded their household.

Regional and author's styles

Due to the fact that many regions differ in tree species, climate and way of life, corresponding regional styles of this applied art have also appeared. In addition, some masters who come from different schools of wood carving, who have achieved success in this work, create their own new methods. Many of them organize exhibitions and win awards and become world famous. It is worth noting the following styles of this arts and crafts:

Separately, it is worth noting the Tatyanka style, which appeared at the end of the last century.

Author's style "Tatyanka"

This is a patented woodcarving style developed by master Sh. Sasykov, who named it after his wife. This master created a manual called "Russian woman woodcarving". Thanks to this book, many masters of this needlework have been trained. At present, there are more than 10 thousand people. The peculiarity of this style is that using a special tool, material processing is carried out only 1 time. This method is faster than other artistic methods.

The choice of material for the product

Wood for processing must be necessarily flat and smooth. The presence of knots is allowed, which will have to be bypassed during processing. Basswood is best suited for this method, as it is easy to work with and is especially suitable for beginner carvers. When choosing a board, you need to pay attention to the butt so that it is dense and uniform.

Of particular importance is the location of the fibers. It is desirable that they be located along the board, as the angle of the fibers will lead to unclean and splintery cuts.

It is also not recommended to expose the boards to moisture and keep them closed in a bag. This can lead to damage to the surface and the appearance of bacteria on them. It is best to store the material in rooms where there is no heating and sudden changes in temperature.

Job Description

When using this method, great attention should be paid to the equipment and maintenance of the workplace. Any flat surface is suitable for a young master: a workbench, a stool, a table, a window sill. The best place would be a table or workbench, as they are heavy and have a flat tabletop. A drawing board or piece of plywood works well placed on any flat surface.

The board with which the master has to work is not attached in any way and is in a free state. Be sure the workplace must have sufficient illumination so that in no case the student has to strain his eyesight. It is best if the light is diffused and does not reflect from the surface of the table. The board must be periodically moistened, but not very much, to facilitate processing. Usually masters gradually determine the degree and frequency of moisturizing.

Carving tool

To facilitate learning this carving method, it is worth using a set of tools "Tatyanka". This set is just designed to work on plastic surfaces. If you use other tools, then this will greatly complicate the learning process, which will take much more time and the result will be worse. To make the simplest ornaments, 2 chisels and a knife with an oblique blade are usually used.

Chisels have a semicircular profile, if you put it perpendicular to the board and rotate around the axis, you get a circle. However, the most important tool for a beginner carver is a knife with an oblique blade. It is this tool that students begin to use. The width of its blade should be within 15-25 mm, and the thickness should not exceed 1.5 mm.

When starting to learn this art, it should be remembered that artistic woodcarving requires constant training, which allows you to gradually improve your skills in creating carved products.

Each type of craft appeared in a certain area for a reason. On the coasts of the northern seas, where walruses are found, the art of bone carving originated. Blacksmithing is popular near ore deposits. Stone carving is popular near stone caves and deposits of semi-precious stones. Since ancient times, people have wanted to decorate objects around them using the materials available for this. In Russia, vast areas are occupied by forests, therefore, in different regions of our country, art carving for woodwork is developed.

We study various techniques of artistic woodcarving

There are various techniques for this art. The most common are geometric, contour, flat-relief, openwork or slotted, volumetric carving. Each type of carving has its own characteristics, requires different tools and training of the master. So, for geometric carving, only a joint knife is enough, flat-relief carving requires several chisels and files, slotted carving is performed strictly according to the sketch with a jigsaw or milling cutter, and volumetric technology requires a large set of tools, as well as an idea of ​​​​the volume of the figure and some artistic skills.

• Geometric carving on a cutting board.
• An example of contour carving - the drawings are made in the form of a groove cut from the surface of the bar.
• Flat-relief carving - the background is deepened, the pattern protrudes to the same height.
• Slotted carving is an example of the work of a master.
• Volumetric woodcarving is a masterpiece from Russian carvers.

In addition, works made not in one specific technique, but with a combination of them, look very beautiful. The photo shows examples of wood processing in mixed media.

In different regions, different types of wood predominate, the climate and lifestyle are different. Depending on this, there are numerous directions in this arts and crafts. In addition, some masters who come from certain schools and have achieved success develop their own unique style of carving. Some of them are even noted in specialized books and publications, their works are presented at exhibitions and are known throughout the world.

We analyze Bogorodsk woodcarving: history and differences

The village of Bogorodskoye is located near the Trinity-Sergius Monastery. Carving originates in this village from the 15th-16th centuries. At that time, it was mainly ordinary peasants who did this. Now there is a legend in the village about how one of the Bogorodsk carvers made a doll out of wood and sold it to a merchant. The merchant put it in his shop for decoration, but it was immediately bought for a very favorable price for him, after which he ordered a whole batch of the same dolls from the master. Since that time, according to this story, the Bogorodsk school of wood carving was born.

Many Russians from childhood are familiar with such wooden toys as blacksmiths or chickens, which alternately hit the anvil with hammers or peck grains. But not everyone knows that this is also the work of Bogorodsk carvers. With the help of this simple material, craftsmen manage to recreate everyday scenes from the life and life of ordinary people, as well as make wonderful animal figurines. It is known that not only children of peasants, but even boyar offspring and princes played with these toys.

At the beginning of the last century, the Bogorodsk craftsmen united in the Bogorodsk carver artel, and later turned into the Bogorodsk woodcarving factory, which still exists and produces wonderful craftsmen.

Consider the history and distinctive features of the Abramtsevo-Kudrinsk woodcarving

It was originally formed in the village of Abramtsevo. Master E.D. Polenova organized a workshop there with a woodcarving school, the hallmark of which was the teaching of painting. Later, one of the natives of this school founded his own workshop in the village of Kudrino, working on orders for the Abramtsevo workshop. This is how the Abramtsevo-Kudrinsky style of carving was formed, the characteristic features of which were the combination of flat-relief and geometric carving. This type of carving is still popular and is easily recognizable.

We study a new author's type of woodcarving - "Tatyanka"

Tatyanka style is a patented author's style. It was developed in 1991 by the carver Shamil Sasykov, and named the style after his wife. The uniqueness of “Tatyanka” is that the works look very beautiful and impressive, the main technique is flat-relief carving with flat-notched elements. The style is reminiscent of Abramtsevo-Kudrinsky, but still has a special carving technique, in addition, it contains more diverse and numerous elements. There is a website dedicated to this type of carving, as well as a school where master classes and full-fledged training are held.

Some examples of works in the style of "Tatyanka".

A selection of videos on the topic of the article

Let me tell you a little about my carving tool.
When I started going to the wood carving club, I used the master's tool. And immediately began the dream of his own instrument.
The guy with whom I went to carving had a father who worked at some metallurgical plant and I ordered 2 semicircular chisels from him, then a friend of my brother gave me a couple more cutters, 2 knives and 2 semicircular chisels a familiar artist, 1 knife guy from the yard. Steel is a good tool, I use them now.

Then one day a plumber came to our house to repair a tap and we started talking, I told him that I was carving. And he said that he had a set of Soviet cutters at home and he wanted to give it to me) I was extremely happy and jumped to the ceiling, he went home and brought it. It was cool, they were not even sharpened!) I especially liked the knife, it was my favorite tool for a long time. Cut nice and straight. He kept his sharpness for a long time, Soviet incisors are cool incisors!

Then I had a break with carving, and there was nowhere to sharpen knives and cutters.
Then I began to look for shops and markets, tents where I could buy cutters. But did not find.
Didn't learn much about sharpening the tool I had, but it was very clumsy.
After some time, I found the page tatianka.ru on the Internet, but at that moment there were only domestic cutters and knives to choose from, and I ordered a couple of knives and chisels for myself, so my arsenal began to replenish))

I saved up money and bought myself a small set of 12 Tatyanka incisors. I like it, now I use it. I cut out a box with it. The steel is not bad, but of course it cannot be compared with Pfeil, they often need to be corrected on the skin with GOI paste and then undermined. They are only suitable for soft woods (linden, alder, maple, birch).

Then, at that time, my girlfriend (and now my wife) gave me a set of 7 knives for my birthday, I was very happy. I cut out a frame for a mirror with them), a box with a geometric pattern and a donation box.

In the Leroy Merlin store, I found cutters from the Czech company Narex and of course I could not resist and bought them. (Who seeks always finds). The cutters are good, the steel is better than Tatyanka's, but they also cost 2 times more.

When I was in Moscow on a business trip, passing through or visiting friends, I went to the Tatyanka store on Baumanskaya. Of course, I really liked the Pfeil cutters there and I bought myself a couple of knives.
They showed themselves well in work, remain sharp for a long time, cut wood well and cleanly, both soft and hard (beech, oak were cut with them).
Now I have several cutters and Pfeil knives and they are my favorite, because. it is a very good tool. Their cost is from 500 rubles. (the cheapest knife) and higher, but in my opinion this is not an overpayment for the brand, but the purchase of a good and high-quality tool (once again this is my opinion, not everyone may agree with me, but I think so).

I also got an interesting Bahco knife. I bought it for 4 euros, not a bad price for a good knife. Perfectly cuts paper and wood, both soft and hard.

I like to store incisors in fabric twists, drawers:

I also sign my incisors.

One small tip, if for some reason you do not use knives, cutters, then lubricate the cuts with any tool oil (I use WD-40) so that they do not rust.

I think that all carvers will agree with me that there are never enough cutters)))) but at the same time I am a supporter of reasonableness, there is never a lot of money, so you need to try to buy the tool that will be used and will pay for itself, and will not just lie without affairs.
And finally, about dreams))) I want to earn money and buy myself this wonderful suitcase of the same beloved Pfeil company:

There are many other good manufacturers, both domestic and foreign, who produce and sell carving tools, I wrote about mine.
I want to add links to some of the resources that I use where you can look for tools, accessories, equipment and everything you need for a carver and a good Craftsman forum.
tatianka.ru
reznoe.ru
Stameskino.ru
rubankov.ru
kalpa-vriksa.ru
forum.woodtools.ru

Thank you for your attention.

The text indicates the work performed by the cutters, then links to the articles of these works will be added.
And there will definitely be an article on sharpening knives and cutters.

You can buy and order wooden works in my shop

The technique of wood carving "Tatyanka" appeared relatively recently. It was patented in 1991 by Shamil Sasykov, the head of the author's art school "Tatyanka Center" and the author of several monographs on the technique of this type of carving.

A feature of the Tatyanka technique is the singularity and uniqueness of each cutting operation, which requires the use of special tools and the use of original techniques. Most of the products decorated with this carving are author's, design works, and the objects decorated with it are real works of art.

Features of the thread

The basic principles of Tatyanka are as follows:

• The selection of the tool is carried out taking into account the characteristics of wood - its hardness, texture and structure.
• The work is carried out only with sharply honed tools.
• Taking into account the fact that the Tatyanka carving is multi-layered, the processing of each subsequent layer is started after the completion of the drawing or ornament of the previous one.
• The multilayer nature of the threaded field requires special care in the phased processing of the layers.
• With poor-quality or incorrect execution of the previous layer, it is almost impossible to eliminate its defects by subsequent cutting of wood.
• Unlike through, flat-notched sculptural and relief carving, mastering the skills of "Tatyanka" takes a shorter time.
• Performing artistic carving requires not only a special tool, but also the right organized workplace.

Job Description

To perform carving work in the Tatyanka technique, the carver, regardless of whether he is engaged in this craft professionally or carving his hobby, requires a specially designated place.

The ideal solution to this problem is a carpenter's workbench, a tilting easel mounted on rigid supports, or a dedicated worktable. Hobbyists often use an ordinary kitchen table, on which a drawing board larger than 20.0 × 20.0 centimeters is laid on top.

Given the painstaking process of cutting wood and the difference in the hardness of wood of different species, which requires a greater or lesser thickness of single-cut chips, the workplace must have properly organized lighting.

The luminous flux should not give glare from the environment and minimize the shadow from the hand and tool. The ideal solution is combined lighting, when a bright diffused light source is supplemented by a directional focus emitter, the position of which can be changed.

On a note!

The uniformity of light illumination is also necessary for accurate transfer of sketches to the surface of a wooden plank, in addition, sufficiently deep recesses are made during the cutting process, and if they are darkened by an incorrectly directed light flux, the drawing may turn out to be defective.

Features of work performance

The best material for carving in the Tatyanka style, according to most carvers, especially beginners, is linden. In the process of cutting out a pattern, a wooden blank must have a certain moisture content, and most importantly, do not overdry. Therefore, the workpiece is periodically moistened.

Unfortunately, there are no specific criteria for humidity, and, as in any creative process, it is selected empirically - by trial and error. According to most lovers of artistic carving, to maintain a plank blank in proper condition, it is enough to wet its ends without overwetting them.

For making kitchen boards, trays, trays and other kitchen utensils with a flat surface. The blank board should have a flat surface, with the same type of wood structure without knots.

Experienced carvers, on the contrary, consider knots an additional element of decor and skillfully playing with them with an elegant carving pattern, create exclusive compositions. Items decorated with Tatyanka carving and additionally decorated with other techniques - appliqué, modeling, drawing, engraving look quite original.

If the cut of the board was made near the bark with an extended pattern of wood layers, then it is better to refuse such a blank. The ideal option is boards obtained from the central part of the log, bordering on its core. In addition, boards cut from the extreme parts of the log are quite difficult to process and require sharply sharpened tools.

Inexperienced carvers may have uneven and splintery cuts. At the edges of the workpiece, chips along the extreme layers formed by a cut along the growth rings of wood are not ruled out.

On a note!

If for some reason the drawing is not finished and a break is planned, then the board should be wrapped in several layers of newsprint and put away in a cool place. It is strictly forbidden to store boards in the sun, in a refrigerator freezer (which is recommended), in a bathroom or other rooms with high humidity and temperature changes.

Tool selection

Taking into account the ever-increasing popularity of home needlework, and the fact that self-made carved products are an excellent means of decorating the interior, today special sets of tools are baked for carvers working in the Talyanka technique. They can be ordered through the online trading system. The beginner's set includes two chisels, with semicircular and straight edges of different sizes, and a joint knife.

Please note that commercially available tool kits are designed to work with soft, hardwoods. Experienced craftsmen working with oak, cedar and precious woods prefer an individual order of the instrument.
