What was it that many years ago brought together the Zagreb born and bred artist Latica Ivanišević and a “humble” textile worker Zdenko Jereneić from the small village of Grabovec near Zagreb? Why is it that even today, many years after, Latica still takes a train to visit Zdenko in his attic in Grabovec? It is their shared love for the art of tapestry!
