Overview

In this tour/activity we will learn more about Sarajevo's traditional crafts. One of them is of course the coppersmithing. We will also meet with our local artist, a coopersmith, and with his help make a small and unique souvenir for you to take home :)

Coopersmith is an old name for a craftsman, who designs or modifies (modifies) jewellery and small ornaments of silver or copper. This craft is, in fact, a kind of art since small ornaments are made where inventiveness, skill and precision are needed. Earlier, hand tools were used and the work was done mostly by hand. Contemporary technology for the processing of materials and decoration making has recently been used. The coppersmiths also use various types of precious stones in their work. The most common products of these handicrafts are jewelery, such as rings, brooches, necklaces and bracelets.

Activity itinerary

Kazandziluk
  • 20m
Kazandžiluk takes its name from the kazandžijas, master metalworkers and coppersmiths who first started producing kettles for the army and then later began making other copper vessels and items for everyday use (ewers, jugs, coffee pots, metal table tops, trays). At the height of Ottoman Sarajevo’s “Golden Age”, coppersmiths were producing around a hundred different kinds of items.
Sebilj Brunnen (Fountain)
  • 10m
Sebilj Fountain is a symbol of Sarajevo. A legend says: "Whoever drinks water from any of Sarajevo’s fountains and spouts will come to Sarajevo”. The Sebilj Fountain was built in 1753.
Bascarsija
  • 2h
Travellers will meet the coopersmith artist in his colourful shop. They will be introduced with his unique and long generation family business. Together, the travellers and the artist, will make a souvenir of Sarajevo out of copper. How cool is that?
