Linking the historical past with modern realities, we are building a harmonious future. Today patriotism is viewed not simply as a moral value and an indicator of the high morale of society, but as a strong foundation that ties together the historical memory, the cultural heritage of its land, the customs and traditions of its people. Connecting together, the cultural identity of the people is transformed into a powerful transformative and creative force capable of ensuring the effective development of society.

Folk-applied art, without exaggeration, can be considered one of the significant components of the national culture. It perfectly reflects the richness and diversity of the creativity of its creator and is not separately associated with music, songs, orally-poetic creativity.

The objects of folk art filled the life of the family with colors, brightening up everyday life and holidays. The richest and most varied nature of Kazakhstan influenced the formation and development of the color and rich appearance of Kazakh applied art. Covering the whole range of manufactured items and taking into account the complexity of the technological process, one cannot help but admire the hard work of the masters, the high level of skill and the subtle artistic instinct that helps them to create unsurpassed masterpieces of national property from their own materials.

That passed the test of time, and so many consciousnesses from life to life crystallized in him all the best that the Creator provided them.
