In History’s path – Kóka Rozália’s series: Traditional folk artist Lőrincz Etel was born in 1955 in „Völgység Majos” [in Hungary’s Tolna County] into a Bukovina Székely Hungarian family especially talented in the folk arts. Her great grandmother had been one of Kodály’s informants and so on. Etel learned her crafts from family members who passed down folk information the traditional way within the family. Most of her relatives had not had the opportunity to go to school, but they nevertheless amassed a high level of folk knowledge which they have been eager to pass on. Etel is particularly known for her „festékes” embroidery and linen cloth weaving. She, like her family members have been, is dedicated to passing on the traditions.
