The most popular folk craft in the District is furniture-making of plaited osier. The history of the craft in the Konosha District goes back to the end of the 1930s when a man from Voronezh came to stay to the village of Motylyevo and organized an artel for osier wicker-work. Andrey P. Rudakov, titled as a Folk Master of Russia, (1924-2003), was one of the artel members. Many years later he remembered the skills he had received as a boy in the artel. He organized a club of traditional folk culture «Radushenka», and wickerwork had a powerful spur to develop. A. Rudakov’s pupils also got good results – N.N. Chaplygin was given the title of a Folk Master of the Arkhangelsk Region, A.I. Suvorov heads the filial of the Arkhangelsk Regional Folk Crafts School where children make wickerwork furniture.

Osier is used to plait small items, too, - baskets, bread plates, vases, etc. The centre of the craft is the settlement Zarechnyi where the masters M.B. Grakhov, Y.M. Reshetnikov, M.K. Grishin and others work. The non-barked osier is used to plait old-style baskets in Tavrenga by masters V.V. Syukhin, I.G. Yershov, G.A. Startsev.
