Rakari

The Tkački dvor is in Rakari, on the road between Mionica and Banja Vrujci. The “Pozornica pod lipom” is on an estate in Rakari, beneath a linden tree more than 150 years old. The Tkački dvor offers weaving classes and features the redesigned Šajkača. A regional description from 1907 describes houses on the ridges and slopes of the hills on both sides of the Toplica, as well as good meadows by the river.

Zagorka Stojanović organizes weaving classes at the Tkački dvor. Visitors can learn the basics of weaving from her. If you would like to include a class in your travel plans, arrange a time in advance.

Another craft item is the Šik-Šajkača: Zagorka Stojanović transforms the traditional Serbian Šajkača into a modern women’s fashion accessory. The redesigned Šajkača caps are intended as souvenirs or gifts; women can wear them too.

The two topics offer different perspectives on craftsmanship: the weaving class focuses on the fundamentals of a textile technique, while the Šik-Šajkača explores the creative transformation of traditional headwear. This distinguishes weaving as a learning process from combining a traditional form with a modern accessory.
