Start your Christmas shopping early at one of our Greek festivals or Christmas shows. We bring our stocking stuffers down off the mountain to the flat lands of North Carolina and beyond so you can hand pick the perfect gift. Russian stuff at Greek festivals? These community gatherings celebrate the culture and Orthodox church; the Greeks and Russians share a common religion. Come celebrate with us!

“If I were to write a book about nesting dolls” says Golden Cockerel’s chief nesting doll designer Misha Yudin, “I’d not necessarily write about how dear or how beautiful they are, but about how difficult they are to make, what tedious, painstaking work it takes.”
This comes from the man who has dedicated his last 15 years to nesting doll production; to say he knows what he’s talking about is an understatement.
In 2001 we invited him to oversee our matryoshka workshop, where now he wears many hats: chief designer, artistic teacher, productivity manager, even creative visionary. His signature belongs on each of the countless dolls that we produce.
To learn more about nesting dolls and Misha Yudin, read a full length interview with the artist.
Today we are offering clips from one show: St. Petersburg: The Inconceivable City, with the 2nd part of a double feature coming eventually, I hope. The show features slides I took during various Russian sojourns from 1991-1996. If you have been to Russia, I hope you will enjoy my perspective and/or a trip down memory lane. For those who haven't been yet, I hope the show offers a subtle taste of an exotic land. "Priyatnovo Apetita!"
Once upon a time there was a small village named Verkhnie Mandrogi, or "Upper Falls" in the language of the locals. It lay 170 miles north-east of St. Petersburg, on the bank of Svir, a beautiful river running from Lake Ladoga to Lake Onega, right on the way from the Baltic to the Volga...
The program, "A Hand Up," is a reaction against cuts in government funding for the orphanage No.3 in St. Petersburg, Russia and was designed by Golden Cockerel. Dedicated to helping Russians help themselves, Golden Cockerel arranges for professional artists to teach the children the traditional Russian folk art of painting brooches. The brooches are then "sold" in America for modest donations to the program. All of the proceeds (100%) are split between the young artists and their orphanage, badly in need of repairs, bathroom renovations, etc. See how this program is making a difference in many young lives.
