Zlakusa pottery making, Traditional pottery village in Zlakusa, Serbia.
The pottery making process in Zlakusa combines local clay from Vranjani with calcite from Rupeljevo in equal proportions to create durable ceramic vessels.
Archaeological evidence indicates that pottery making techniques in the Zlakusa region have remained consistent since prehistoric settlements, maintaining original production methods.
Twenty households in Zlakusa continue the traditional pottery craft using manual potter's wheels, preserving techniques through direct transmission between generations.
Visitors can observe the complete pottery making process, from clay preparation to firing in outdoor kilns, through demonstrations at local workshops.
The distinct combination of slow wheel throwing and open-fire baking methods sets Zlakusa pottery apart from other ceramic traditions in the Balkan Peninsula.
