The Tradition of Wood Moulds and Honey Dough

Petra Plestenjak Podlogar is one of the few craftspeople still continuining the centuries-old tradition of carving out wooden moulds for traditional Loka honey breads. Petra adds her own unique touch to the craft that she learnt from her grandfather. She held her first exhibition and received the title of ‘master craftsperson’ at the age of 15. Petra does not use a template, therefore all her products are unique.
