The students of department of toys and decorative items production of the School of Applied Arts in the town of Ružomberok have presented how they see toys at Game + wood exhibition organised by the Design Studio ÚĽUV. The department was established in 2006 and the first students of this department graduate this year. Teachers at the department Michal Hanula and Ľubomír Žila have managed to achieve top technical devices and new teaching premises by which the school has become a very exceptional organisation in Slovakia. This modern-style department seeks to follow the folk art inspirations and to combine them with the requirements of a contemporary person. Teachers accentuate mastering methods of material processing and combining them with an added value of art/design. The exhibition presents many variations of how toys can look.
