We're extremely proud and happy to introduce the
book SLOVAK AMERICAN TOUCHES, by Toni Brendel, the
first of its kind to be available through Penfield
Books, in Iowa City, Iowa.
In addition to recipes handed down through the years
by the Brosko-Mraz family feature stories,
information on Slovak American dance groups,
artists, national folk dress (kroje), fraternal
benefit organizations, learning instructions, social
clubs, museums and libraries, what makes this book
unique is the large section on The Centre for Folk
Art Productions 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 center 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, couple 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.
