    Zlakusa pottery making

    Zlakusa pottery is a technique of hand-crafting clay dishes on a slow potter's wheel and baked on an open fire, which is not often done in the wider area of the Balkan Peninsula. This tradition, passed down from generation to generation, has been preserved until today by the hardworking residents of the village of Zlakusa, at the foot of the Drežnička Gradina, in the Zlatibor District in Serbia.
