The oil industry is one of the oldest agricultural industries and developed in the Mediterranean basin.

In order to facilitate the processing of the olives roman oil olive-presses (eleotribio) were created, which were consisted of a stone basin and two millstones ( milopetres).

Then in 1979 was invented the hydraulic press which:Usually grinded the fruits while then were converted into a

pulp.Pulp was put in specific sacks.Pulp was pressed in the olive oil-presses and export olive.Olive is stored in large containers.As a result of a second processing procedure are also exported:Kernel (pirineleo) oil which is ised in the manufacture

(paraskevi) of soaps (sapounia)Olive pies (pites) as food for animalsOlive core ( pirinas) is ideal for heating

‘TSANGARIS’What does shoemaker mean?Tsangaris<from the middle aged ‘tsangaris’<from ‘tsangarios’ <from the noun’tsanga’, a kind of soft shoe.The person whose job is to make or mend shoes.

Tsangaris’ (=shoemaker) is the person whose job is to make shoes. The place or shop where he works was called ‘tsangariko’ or ‘tsangaradiko’. In cities there where quit a lot of these shops, big and small. In big shops there workeda couple of ‘tsangarides’ (=shoemakers)together, together with their assistants and apprentices. Shoes were also expensive back then, but they were handmade since there neither glue nor machines. The basic equipment of a ‘tsangaris’ was shoe-trees in different sizes, hammers, files, pincers (special needles) and awls.

We met Mrs. Maria Vakrou in her workplace and she was surprised to see us there early in the morning. She had a lot of work that day. The economic crisis has revived the job of the dressmaker. Mrs. Maro, as most people call her, has been a dressmaker for thirty years. After a warm

greeting, she started telling us that she has always had an innate talent for sewing and she used to make her own clothes when young.

Page 18: Traditional crafts professions

Mrs. Maria has been working with modern sewing machines, but she remembers that before

Singer’s «revolution», dressmakers used to do the

entire job using their hands. They cut, sewed, hemmed, opened buttonholes with simple hand

tools: scissors, bobbins, needles, pins, the bar, the “soap”.

Their workplace was a room of their house where women who wanted to have their clothes sewed or changed visited them.

They also had students since that was the way to learn the art of dressmaking those

days. There is even an old song about dressmakers saying “Dressmakers and

hairdressers will come to dress you up...”However, dressmaking was really tiring and

the dressmakers had to be very careful because a little mistake would cost them

time and money.

At the past

Page 19: Traditional crafts professions

Dressmaking had been in great bloom for many years. However, it began to wane when the craft companies appeared, the mass production of clothes started and people started buying clothes from the clothes stores or boutiques rather than have them sewed by dressmakers. Most dressmakers left their home business and ran to work in those clothing companies or factories. It’s the era of the malls with the readymade clothes. However, nowadays,

the economic crisis has revived dressmaking not because people want to have their clothes sewed. They just want their old clothes remade hoping that they will be more modern…

zevmatopoios

What exactly is the job of the “ zevmatopoios”?

The 'zevmatopios' used to use animals skins to make leather tools that people used to equip on their horses or donkeys in order to transport merchandise or ride their horses.

Page 21: Traditional crafts professions

HALINARI which was always metallic and was attached to the animal's mouth so that the rider could control it easily

IGLA, a big leather belt that was tied underneath the animal’s belly

MBALDIMI, another rleather part which covered the hind legs of the horse and was tied to the saddle and the igla.

All this equipment was absolutely necessary to

keep the saddle and the load that the animal carried stable.

Some of those tools are: KAPISTRI a leather set put around the head of the animal

Page 22: Traditional crafts professions

We went to the store of 'Barba Nionios' on a rainy afternoon in February but he wasn't there. He is too old to go out during winter. He will come out once spring has arrived. However, we met his son-in-law, Dimitis Kostarias who welcomed us in a really warm way. His store doesn't work as a 'zevmatopiio' anymore. Now, he gets supplied with the tools that Barba Nionios used to make himself, and sells them to those few

who still have 'ipozigia' (animals).

Barba Nionios , the last “ zevmatopoios” in PeloponeseSince 1946….

Page 23: Traditional crafts professions

Dionysios Apostolopoulos, or Barba Nionios, as he is widely known in our town Pyrgos, has worked as a “ zevmatopoios” for more than 40 years, being one of the first people who did this kind of job.

Dimitris Kostarias and his wife Katerina are going to answer all our questions while at the same time take us back to other eras.

Page 24: Traditional crafts professions

The job 'zevmatopios' had a lot of success for many years because it was deeply connected to the agricultural life of Greek people. It was in bloom until the 70s when agricultural machines like tractors started replacing animals and Greece entered the European Union. So, this job was almost abandoned. Only a couple of people(usually in mountainous places) still use 'ipozigia' (animals) in their work.

The baker

The traditional bakery is open since 1930.Today,it is runn by two brothers, who inherit it from their father. Some decades ago, the areα where is located the bakery,was the economic and shopping centre of our town. The shop, is right to the left of this remarkable and historical city centre of our "local" market called:

"Stavropazaro"(the place where was established the market was in the centre of a cross road).The old workers where going to their jobs very early in the morning,they were passing every day from there to buy their bread and food.

Page 30: Traditional crafts professions

They informed us about the process production of bread

and the speciality of the

wood-fired oven.

The baking in wood-fired oven comes gradually, increasing the temperature in 200c.The resistance of the heat is huge because of the stone (a special stone which was built the oven) This way of baking has amazing results. The bread dries faster and it's tastier than modified ones which are often substandard. The negative thing about using a wood-fired oven is that it's often tiring and cannot help the mass production

*Αs for the fuel, they use only olive wood and never pine.

Page 31: Traditional crafts professions

All bakery's products are baked in the wood-fired oven. Bread, cookies, cakes,sweat breads (tsoureki), many different kinds of pies. Specially for the celebration of our Saint Charalampos, patron saint of Pyrgos. Especially for the celebration they make a sweet kind of bread called "artos" with a lot of sugar and

spices.Some sayings:"He who doesn't want to bake, sifts for ten days""If somebody is clever and intelligent, before gets hungry will bake""Bread's beauty from the sourdough the bulge gets born"turkish
