The Moscow branch of the Higher School of Folk Arts is a state educational institution where future artists of decorative and applied arts receive higher professional education. At the moment, the institute has a continuous system of professional training. First, applicants undergo pre-university training, where they prepare for admission to the Moscow branch of the Higher School of Economics, then they receive secondary or higher vocational training, and after graduation, after some time, they can take advanced training courses.
The Moscow School of Artistic Crafts was founded in 1938. When the Great Patriotic War began, the work of the school had to be suspended, but already in 1943 it opened the doors again for talented children who wanted to learn arts and crafts. According to the documents that were found in the archives of the Higher School of Economics, at that time there were only about a hundred people studying at the school.
From the very beginning, the school's activities were focused on teaching students with an eye on the folk traditions of domestic pedagogy and art. But in 1985, the introduction of new methods of teaching the techniques of contemporary art into the educational process began, which was later adopted from the Moscow School by other educational institutions.
Since 1992 MSHHR has become a college, and in 1996 it becomes an advanced college. In 1997, taking into account the high qualifications of the master artists who graduated from the school, it was decided to conduct an experiment for students to receive a higher specialized education on the basis of the school. This experience lasted for a very long time, but thanks to the excellent quality of teaching and the high professionalism of graduates, in 2002, by decree of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, the MSHHR was issued a license for the right to conduct educational activities in the field of higher education.
On the basis of graduates and some teachers of the Moscow School in 2003, the Higher School of Folk Arts was opened in St. Petersburg. Maksimovich Valentina Fedorovna, who was previously the head of the MSHR, became the rector of the GSNR. A little later, in August 2003, the Moscow School acquired the status of a university and became the Moscow branch of the Higher School of Arts (Institute), and since 2007 it has been renamed the Institute of Traditional Applied Arts.
The Moscow branch of the Higher School of Economics employs a close-knit and friendly team of teachers, each of whom has tremendous experience in teaching, as well as in conducting various scientific and technical work. Slightly less than half of the university teachers are former students who did not want to leave their native alma mater.
Teaching staff:
University teachers defend doctoral and candidate dissertations on the problems that arise when receiving higher education in the field of folk applied arts based on experiments that are carried out at the institute itself. Active scientific work is also being carried out to resolve problems that are associated with the problems of art education in general, and traditional applied art in particular. All this allows teachers to better and more clearly communicate their knowledge and skills to students.
Thanks to this, students who study at the Moscow branch of the Higher School of Economics learn not only the theory of art, but also can learn from their teachers in the conduct of their professional activities in order to quickly achieve their goals.
While studying at the institute, students learn not only theory, but also try to translate the acquired knowledge into practice. The best products of the students of the Moscow branch of the Higher School of Economics are exhibited to the public not only in the museum of the institute itself, but also in the Museum of Vocational Education of the Russian Federation. And how many wonderful clothes, scarves, screens, charming boxes, shawls, interior and design items and much more were exhibited in the State Duma of the Russian Federation, the Council of the Russian Federation, as well as in numerous exhibition halls in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities of the country.
During the institute's activity, the university was able to participate in 300 exhibitions, where items of folk art were presented to the audience. At the same time, 100 exhibitions, in which the Moscow branch of the Higher School of Economics participated, were held abroad. Residents of various countries of the world - Germany, Poland, Spain, Hungary, Bulgaria, America, Italy and many others - could get acquainted with the students' works.
Thanks to the acquired knowledge and the skillful ability to bring ideas to life, specialists who graduate from the institute fit into the cultural life of Russia without any problems, where they successfully continue and develop the traditions of folk applied art.
Folk Arts is the only higher educational institution of its kind in the Russian Federation that graduates artists of traditional arts and crafts.
Founded in its present form in 2003, the origins of VSNI date back to 1913.
For its centennial activity, the School has earned a justified reputation as a university, whose graduates are invariably distinguished by high professionalism, the broadest outlook and are in special demand in the creative labor market, as true masters of arts and crafts.
The university is represented by two faculties, within which specialists are trained in 4 areas of training.
Faculty of Arts and Crafts

For creative people, it offers to the attention of applicants training in the most relevant and popular areas that can be chosen as a training profile at one of the faculties:

The undoubted advantages of studying at the Higher School of Folk Arts include:
The Higher School of Folk Arts has become the first and only state educational institution in Russia that trains artists-masters of traditional arts and crafts. The founder of the educational institution, originally called the "School of Folk Crafts", and in 1912 renamed the "School of Folk Art", was the last Russian Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. At that time, the School trained teachers in various types of folk arts and crafts. It trained girls from various regions of Russia. In 1938, the "Moscow School of Artistic Crafts" was opened, which trained specialists for folk crafts enterprises. In 1992, the School received the status of a college, and since 2002 it has become a higher educational institution. Today it has become the Moscow branch of the Higher School of Folk Arts located in St. Petersburg. The university trains specialists in such traditional types of folk art as embroidery, painting on fabric, jewelry, painting on metal and papier-mâché. Among the graduates of the university are teachers of art disciplines, heads and employees of art and production workshops, leading specialists of fashion houses, heads of educational institutions in the field of culture and traditional folk art.
