From 2011-2013, we teamed up professional Thai, Burmese and foreign artists with young apprentices to build their skills and teach them to create original artwork. Now those young artists are managing the studio and passing their skills on. Our mission is to encourage community integration through art; to help our students get on the path to independent employment in the arts; and to make unique,
beautiful handicrafts that represent a fusion of cultures and styles. Through art, our staff also improve their confidence, creativity, and critical thinking. We aim to cover salaries, studio expenses and art materials entirely through sales--which is NOT easy! We offer:
- Regular batik workshops and occasional ceramics or drawing workshops. Participate individually or schedule a group course- great for organizations or parties! Contact us for information.
- Saturday morning coffee from 9-12: Bring your friends and enjoy a good coffee or delicious baked goods in our garden.
- Custom-made ceramic and batik products. Visit us or check out our photos to see what we can do for you.
