In the beginning Svetlana Batyreva, a Kalmyk scholar who studies art, gives a short talk and introduces Alesya Kalmykova. Svetlana says that Kalmyk dress is different from those of other peoples. The dress of Western Mongols does not have ornaments. Ornaments appeared on Kalmyk dress under the influence of Russian, Turkic and Caucasian cultures when the Kalmyks came and settled in Russia. After that Alesya, who teaches art in a kindergarten in Kaluga, shows how to sew a Kalmyk ornament called zeg which is made from thin woollen cords. Zeg ornaments are usually used in women’s dress. At her masterclass Alesya shows how to make a zeg ornament in the shape of the sun.
