Craftsmasters’ Paths

These panel discussions offer a chance to get to know craftspeople and artists whose names are a hallmark of the crafts unit of the Hungarian Heritage House, as we interview our highly experienced instructors.

During the personal conversations, we can find out what was the defining experience that led the masters to their trade, what were the main stages they went through in the process of learning the craft, what they see as the challenges and joys of their trade, how they see its future, and what experiences shaped their creative career.

Visitors can get acquainted with the fibrous materials with the help of Zoltán Kovács, an applied folk artist and basket weaver from Jászárokszállás, and Mara Bárány, a cornhusk weaver.

Moderator: Márta Legeza, fellow at the Applied Folk Arts Department of the Hungarian Heritage House
