Products of artist Angelika Vaneková of Tvrdošovce in the district of Nové Zámky are inventive, all colours flowing and being in harmony, just like they do on a painter’s canvas. At the same time, shawls, handbags or brooches feel gentle and feminine. Perhaps it is thanks to the fact that the artist started using wool in her artistic pursuits as a mature woman, when becoming mother. The idea to try their hand at felt came, actually, from her friends, and so they worked on in together. Later on, she completed a felting course offered by ÚĽUV, devoting more and more time to wool. It is true that at first there were faulty pieces; nonetheless, she finds it an inevitable part of development and improvement, saying, “Each faulty piece is a small step toward a high-quality product.” Having started her felt production as a sole trader, she finally found the courage to offer her creations at fairs. Since 2012 she has cooperated with ÚĽUV.
