[lat ] Vairak neka 200 gadus Siguldas – Vidzemes
Šveices apkaime izgatavo spiekus, kas kluvuši
par
novada simbolu. Siguldas spieku tradicionalas
krasas ir zala, sarkana un melna. Vietejiem amatniekiem
spieku gatavošana bija un ir izdevigs pelnas
avots. Ir veselas spieku darinataju dzimtas,
ka ,piemeram, Viganti Turaida. Slaveni bijuši ari
Klavini Sigulda, kas ar spieku gatavošanu
sakuši
nodarboties 1925.gada. Janis Klavinš devets par
Siguldas “spieku karali”, vinš pagatavojis
specialu
spieki ar uzrakstu ari Latvijas Valsts prezidentam
Karlim Ulmanim.
Agrak celinieks bez spieka talaka cela negaja – ar to
vareja atvairit gan niknus sunus, gan uzbruceju, ja tadu
gadijas sastapt.
Droši gaju tumšu nakti,
Lazdas spiekis rocina:
Citi koki vella bega,
Lazdinš velna nebedaja.[L.t.dz.]
Uz spieka vareja uzmaukt ari cela somu vai pauninu
un parlikt par plecu. Ir pat tautas paruna:“ Cela
spieki
iedod tevs, cela maizi -mate”. Tautas mute kokam, uz
ka atbalstijas gajejs,ir daudz un dažadi vardi: kuja,
kujina,kegis, kegitis, nujina, nuja, boze, bozite, vezda,
runga, štoks, spiekis. Spiekus gatavo no vitoliem,
ievam – lokanam koku sugam, kuras var liekt, lai
iegutu spieka rokturi. Visizturigakais materials —
klava,bet kruklis esot trauslaks, tacu ari vieglak
apstradajams. Kokus iepriekš sutina,pec tam galu
apliec ap specialu apalu koka formu un nostiprina.
Kad koks izkaltis, to nonem no formas un izrota.
Kraso ar zalo un sarkano tušu.Sakuma spieki
bijuši
pavisam vienkarši, nemizoti, bez rotajumiem.
Velak spiekiem nomizota tikai roktura dala. Pakape-
niski tie ieguvuši gan iededzinatos rakstus, gan
krasojumu, gan zaru vietas izgrieztas velnu un
dzivnieku galvinas. Katru spieki rota uzraksts–
Sigulda, un katrs meistars tos darina citadakus.
Tie ir dažada izmera - no sika zimula garuma
suvenira lidz krietnam un izturigam celaspiekim.
[eng] More than 200 years in Sigulda- called also Latvia's
"Little Switzerland", manufactured sticks, which has
become the symbol of this region.
The traditional colors of the sticks of Sigulda are: green,
red and black.For the local craftsmen the making of walking
sticks has been and still is profitable. There are several
families who make walking sticks, like Viganti family in
Turaida. Klavini family used to be popular craftsmen in
Sigulda, who started making sticks at 1925. Janis Klavins
called as "the king of Siguldas sticks", was made
a special stick for those time President of Latvia
Karlis Ulmanis.
Walking-sticks are made of nut-tree, juniper, alder
buckthorn, willow, bird cherry – flexible tree species
that can be bent in order to make a handle.The most
perdurable material- the maple, buckthorn is fragiler,
but work process is easier. At first wood is stewed, then
one ending is bent around a special form and fastened.
When the wood has dried up, it is taken of the form and
ornamented. In the beginning walking sticks were very
simple, with bark and without any ornaments. Later just
the handle was barked. Gradually walking sticks got
branded ornaments, colors and little heads of devils
that were cut in places where branches start. Each
walking stick has the inscription SIGULDA but every
craftsmen make them differently.Walking stick is the
most characteristic souvenir of Sigulda that is known
already from the 19th century.
