The Master

András Galánfi, an artist-teacher living in Hajdószoboszló (Hungary), on the edge of Hortobágy, was awarded the Kossuth Prize in 2017. In the same year he also received the „Honorary Heritage Shepherd of the Hortobágy” honour for his work in promoting and preserving culture.
Nature- and folk-art inspired playgrounds, rustic log furniture, wooden sculptures proclaim his artistic performance, and as a result of his pedagogical activity, a world-famous, school combining artisan crafts with Hungarian folklore, has been created.
