Preserving and cultivating handicrafts, mainly tapestry, is an old Kukës tradition, which women and girls are inheriting from generation to generation.
Hate Ora, a 68-year-old artisan, is one of the few women from Kukës who has managed to keep this tradition alive.
Hate says that she embraced the profession of artisan from childhood, the craft inherited from generation to generation, even though her dream was to become an architect. Despite the difficulties of the time, she along with other women managed to preserve the tradition and the name of the artisans. The orders that Hate expects in her workshop are mostly tapestries or carpets, which take about 6 months of work, or even more, depending on the model, workmanship and dimension.
The artisan says that he sent the Kukshi tapestry to many countries of the world such as America or Italy.
She has inherited this craft with much effort from her daughters, granddaughters and brides, with whom she keeps alive the tradition of the artisan woman. Daughter Mikaela says that she will continue the legacy of this craft to other generations of her family.
Meanwhile, the increase in prices does not seem to have escaped without affecting the handicraft sector, as the materials needed to work tapestries and carpets have increased, said artisan Hate Ora.
Tapestries have become an irreplaceable brand, bearing the name and passion of Kukës women.
With the closure of the handicraft enterprise, where over 1000 girls and women in veg work tapestry and carpet, many of them are cultivating this tradition in family settings, offering courses for those who want to keep alive the Kukës tradition.
