Meet Blaga: The Female Potter Who Inherited Her Craft from Her Grandfather
Meet Blaga: The Female Potter Who Inherited Her Craft from Her Grandfather
March 8th is a day to remember the relentless struggle of Clara Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg, who fought for the equality of working women. The team at Kajak.mk is aware that this statement sparks many debates about whether women as workers enjoy the same rights as men. However, we at Kajak.mk can firmly say the following:
"The Kajak.mk platform is built on two equally strong pillars. One pillar represents women, and the other represents men. Both pillars play the same role in keeping Kajak.mk alive. If one pillar weakens or collapses, the entire platform will fall, as one cannot function without the other."
On Kajak.mk, you will find numerous articles dedicated to promoting male and female artisans, whom we consider local heroes—individuals creating small things of great significance for the development of tourism.
Today, March 8th, we dedicate our spotlight to a new local heroine from Negotino. Her life story is intertwined with pottery, and her craft allows her to become our newest local heroine, contributing in small yet impactful ways to the growth of tourism.
The team at Kajak.mk would like to introduce you to Blaga, one of the proud heirs of the pottery craft, passed down from her grandfather and great-grandfather. She shares that this tradition has been nurtured in her family for over 200 years.
Blaga also emphasizes that this ancient tradition of handmade household items is, unfortunately, fading away. While pottery was once essential for daily life, today’s youth in Macedonia show little interest in learning the craft.
Blaga’s right hand in this journey is her husband, with whom she builds the story of the "Ljubitas" workshop, located in the town of Negotino.
In their workshop, you can find a variety of pottery products, including flower pots, vases, small and large cooking dishes, jugs, mugs, and many other handcrafted ceramic items.
Kajak.mk, as a platform, aims to promote and support local artisans. For this reason, starting today, we are adding the "Ljubitas" pottery workshop to our attractions database "Kade Ovde." This will allow you to book a visit to Blaga’s workshop, learn about the pottery craft, and experience the process of creating various clay products.
