We’re extremely proud and happy to Introduce the book, SLOVAK AMERICAN TOUCHES,
BY Toni Brendel, published by Penfield Books.
In addition to recipes handed down through the years by the Brosko-Mraz family, family feature stories, information on Slovak American dance groups, artists, national folk dress (kroje,) fraternal benefit organizations, learning institutions, social clubs, museums and libraries, what makes this book unique is the large section on The Centre for Folk Art Productions (Ustedie l’udovej Umeleckej Vyroby) in Bratislava, Slovakia. Amidst the struggle to keep our heritage alive, a plan was devised in 1945 where preservation of traditional crafts and folk art was implemented at the centre. Today, the expanded centre flourishes and is a thriving resource for young artists and craftsmen, carefully taught by the old masters. Their story is brought to you with appealing pages of photography as well as the written word. This, coupled with beautiful color photography created by Joan Liffring Zug Bourret, and others, meshes the Slovak culture from both sides of the ocean for the enjoyment of all.
