sekler craftsman, leather good’s craftsmen and feltmaker from Dănești

    "I think everything begun when my mother gave me the scissors. I have been creating – that is how my family named my activity, mostly probably in joke, activity which stood from cutting any kind of newspaper into interesting forms with the scissors. This was followed by the pencil, needle, paint brush, rasp, knife, modelling wood and others. And then, next came the schools and masters from whom I have learned what can be made of leather, clay, wood, wool, rush, wattle.

   I live in the magic of the tools, materials and (probably it is not lack of modesty to say) my own hands from the day I have known myself. They came out successful creations  as well as not so successful ones, being equally proud of them. However, it is not the final product that represents major satisfaction, but the pleasure which gratifies me along the work procedure. I shouldn’t call it even work, as for me creation is a form of life, a neccessity, whithout that I couldn’t live a full life. I am a craftsman.

   One of my main purposes: to create useful objects, which brings pleasure not just for me, the creator of them, but later also to their user. On the other hand: the transmission of the gained knowledge of the craftsmanship, providing for as many as possible the pleasure of creation – and through that, of the fulfilment."
