Zora Valentová

In recent years, folk production for folk music groups as well as other occasions was concentrated mainly in ÚĽUV (Centre for Folk Art Production), who based it on strong research and documentation materials. Marta Lörincová started to be interested in working in the area of folk production as a twenty-year-old, trained men’s tailor. After thirty years she is now one of the most versatile folk costume creators. She mainly specializes in broadcloth clothing parts – trousers, waistcoats, shirts, and short coats. She has also learnt to work with fur and leather. She preserves a family tradition of folk art creators – her father was a basket maker and her mother used to embroider.
