Our production
This is where souvenirs are made. Wood travels from a simple blank to a finished piece, and every item is shaped with character and the careful attention of a craftsperson.

This is where souvenirs are made
Our production site is where wood is transformed from a blank into a finished product. Woodturners, artists, painters and packaging specialists work here.
We make wooden souvenirs, keepsake boxes, matryoshkas, figurines, craft blanks and other Brest Souvenir Factory products.
Wood, painting and handwork
In our workshops, products are turned, sanded, painted, given a protective finish and prepared for shipment. Every stage involves close attention to the material, shape and details.
Wooden blank
The wood is selected, beginning its journey from raw material to a finished souvenir.
Woodturning
The product receives its silhouette, proportions and foundation for further hand finishing.
Painting
Artists work with colour, ornament, imagery and decorative details.
Packaging
Finished products are inspected, carefully packed and prepared for shipment.
We continue the traditions of Brest Souvenir Factory, established in 1953, preserving woodworking, hand painting and respect for decorative and applied art.
Production site and shop-museum
The production site and shop-museum are in separate locations. At the shop-museum near Brest Fortress, visitors can explore the historical display, choose souvenirs and take part in a workshop. The production site is the working space where the products are made.
