(Baonghean.vn) - As the main force in labor and production, women are contributing to preserving, conserving and promoting traditional crafts of their homeland.

In Tru Son commune (Do Luong), many women are artisans who "mold clay into flowers". They are devoting their hearts to maintaining the unique and rare craft of making clay pots in Nghe An. Photo: Huy Thu

The steps of shaping, peeling, drying and cooking are all undertaken by the women here. Many mothers and grandmothers are old but still work enthusiastically. Photo: Huy Thu

With just a turntable, small bamboo sticks... and skillful hands, women of the "pot village" have created products that are welcomed and favored by markets inside and outside the province. Photo: Huy Thu

Although the way of making and cooking pots has changed a lot, this profession still faces many difficulties (manual work, getting soil from far away, lack of young workers...). However, the women of the "pot village" always try to preserve and promote the traditional profession left by their ancestors. Photo: Huy Thu

In Tu Vien village, Thanh Luong commune (Thanh Chuong), women are the main force in maintaining the peanut oil pressing profession. Besides, with skillful and hard-working hands, women and mothers also participate in weaving, making brooms... Photo: Huy Thu

Peanut oil pressing has many stages (selecting peanuts, grinding, steaming, pressing, filtering) requiring the care and diligence of women. Photo: Huy Thu

In the new conditions, when many craft villages apply techniques and machines to production, many women are not only skillful and industrious, but also proficient in using machines such as presses, saws, grinders... enough to "work like men". Photo: Huy Thu

In craft villages making vermicelli, rice paper, and peanut candy, women are the main laborers participating in all stages of the production process, such as the vermicelli making craft in Quy Chinh block, Nam Dan town, the rice paper making craft in Luu Son commune (Do Luong), Chau Nhan commune (Hung Nguyen), Dien Ngoc commune (Dien Chau)...

Maintaining and developing traditional crafts in localities still faces many difficulties and hardships. Women have to work hard from dawn to dusk, but everyone is still diligent, working hard from morning to night, optimistic and hopeful. Photo: Huy Thu

Along with fulfilling their roles as wives, mothers, and grandmothers, women are also the main labor force that creates material wealth, builds the family economy, and contributes to preserving and developing traditional craft villages. Photo: Huy Thu

During the production process, many women have quickly absorbed new trends, expanded their careers, and both produced and linked up to do tourism, to promote village products, and contributed to preserving, transmitting, and spreading the traditional crafts of their homeland. Photo: Huy Thu
