"From Struggle to Sustainability Through Lakarcade"

“I’m K. Padmasiri, a clay pot maker continuing my village tradition. For a long time, I struggled to sell my work and earn a steady income. Lakarcade gave my pottery a place in front of local and international buyers.”

මම කේ. පද්මසිරි, පාරම්පරික මැටි භාණ්ඩ නිර්මාණ ශිල්පියෙක්. බොහෝ කාලයක් මගේ භාණ්ඩ විකුණා ගැනීමට සහ ජීවිකා ආදායමක් ලැබීමට මට අපහසු වුණා.

– K. Padmasiri, Clay Pot Supplier from Galle

Tradition Meets Opportunity

“I’m Padma Jayanthi, a batik artist carrying my family’s tradition. For years, I struggled to find value for my craft in the local market. Lakarcade recognized my work and brought it to international customers.”

මම පද්මා ජයන්ති, පාරම්පරික බැටික් ශිල්පිනියක්. අවුරුදු ගණනාවක් මගේ කලාපාරම්පරික ව්‍යාපාරයට වටිනාකමක් ලබා දීමට මට අසීරු විය.

– Padma Jayanthi, Batik Artist from Kurunegala

Keeping Ambalangoda’s Heritage Alive

“I’m Sarath Kumara, a traditional mask maker. For years, it was hard to continue my family craft and support my home. Lakarcade gave me a platform to showcase my masks to the world.”

මම සරත් කුමාර, අම්බලන්ගොඩ පාරම්පරික මුහුණු කළාකරුවෙක්. අවුරුදු ගණනාවක් පාරම්පරික ශිල්පය පවත්වා ගැනීමත් ගෙදරට උපකාර කිරීමත් අසීරු විය.

From Struggle to Sustainability Through Lakarcade

මම කේ. පද්මසිරි, පාරම්පරික මැටි භාණ්ඩ නිර්මාණ ශිල්පියෙක්. බොහෝ කාලයක් මගේ භාණ්ඩ විකුණා ගැනීමට සහ ජීවිකා ආදායමක් ලැබීමට මට අපහසු වුණා. ලකාර්කේඩ් මගේ මටි භාණ්ඩව දේශීය හා ජාත්‍යන්තර මිලදී ගන්නන්ට ඉදිරිපත් කළා. අද මගේ ශිල්පය මගේ පවුල පෝෂණය කරන අතර අපේ උරුමයත් ජීවන්තව තබනවා.

நான் கே. பத்மசிரி, எங்கள் கிராம பாரம்பரியத்தைத் தொடரும் மண் பானை கலைஞர். நீண்ட காலமாக என் படைப்புகளை விற்று நிலையான வருமானம் பெறுவது கடினமாக இருந்தது.

Tradition Meets Opportunity

මම පද්මා ජයන්ති, පාරම්පරික බැටික් ශිල්පිනියක්. අවුරුදු ගණනාවක් මගේ කලාපාරම්පරික ව්‍යාපාරයට වටිනාකමක් ලබා දීමට මට අසීරු විය. ලකාර්කේඩ් මගේ කාර්යය තක්සේරු කර එය ජාත්‍යන්තර ගනුදෙනුකරුවන් වෙත ගෙන ගියේය. දැන් මගේ බැටික් නිර්මාණ මගේ පවුලට ජීවිකාමය ස්ථාවරතාවයක්ද.

நான் பத்மா ஜயந்தி, எங்கள் பாரம்பரியத்தைத் தொடர்ந்துவரும் படிக் கலைஞர். உள்ளூர் சந்தையில் என் கைவினைக்கு மதிப்பு காண்பது கடினமாக இருந்தது.

– Padma Jayanthi, Kurunegala

Keeping Ambalangoda’s Mask-Making Heritage Alive

“I’m Sarath Kumara, a traditional mask maker from Ambalangoda. For years, it was hard to continue my family craft and support my home. Lakarcade gave me a platform to showcase my masks to the world. Today, my art is my livelihood, and my family’s future is secure.”

මම සරත් කුමාර, අම්බලන්ගොඩ පාරම්පරික මුහුණු කළාකරුවෙක්. අවුරුදු ගණනාවක් පාරම්පරික ශිල්පය පවත්වා ගැනීමත් ගෙදරට උපකාර කිරීමත් අසීරු විය. ලකාර්කේඩ් මට ලෝකයට මගේ මුහුණු පෙන්වීමට වේදිකාවක් ලබා දුන්නා.

நான் சரத் குமாரா, அம்பலங்கொடையில் பாரம்பரிய முகமூடி தயாரிப்பாளர். என் குடும்பத்தின் கைவினையைத் தொடர்வதும் வாழ்வாதாரத்தைப் பாதுகாப்பதும் கடினமாக இருந்தது.
