told the painter, the dome has never covered this way and such material, so the comprehension tasks, testing and construction took about one and a half years. Now the idea is patented. Besides the fact that porcelain dome are beautiful, they do not rot and does not lose color.

"When I was asked to make a dome made of porcelain, I replied that it was impossible. Knowing the material, how it behaves in the manufacturing process, I knew that I realize this is unrealistic," - told Volkotrub.

Originally proposed to make the dome of the big parts. But large parts exposed to high mechanical stress and therefore short-lived. As a result, the master came to the conclusion that we should do from the small, simply tying them to the wire.

The dome of the temple has a height of three stories and ten meters in diameter, it is saturated with bright blue in it 24 vertical wedges, separated by a golden rolls. It consists of 18 thousand porcelain tiles that are made with a jeweler's precision hand.

"I have these tiled domes of its celebratory brightness and raznotsvetiem, complex shapes reminiscent of the famous Faberge Easter eggs. Everything was timed by the computer. It's very complicated metal, hence the complex geometry of porcelain" scales. "Slices were matched perfectly," - said Volkotrub.

He believes a miracle that the whole work was done in an ordinary village ordinary guys, none of whom had ceramics "never seen" that all learning on the fly.

"And suddenly formed team of hard workers who use foul language even less steel. Understanding that is the dome of the temple, that they solve some important task, influenced their behavior. But the most important miracle - this is what met the people who are equally caught fire, and one without the other it would simply not done "- says the artist
