Ock Pop Tok Living Crafts Centre
Visit the Living Crafts Centre in Luang Prabang and learn about silk worms, how silk is made, the natural dying process and weaving techniques. Also meet our Hmong batik artist and learn about Hmong culture. The centre is in a beautiful garden setting, overlooking the Mekong River, only 2km from the centre of town. The majority of Ock Pop Tok textiles are made by the weavers working daily at the Living Crafts Centre, so you can experience their work environment and enjoy learning Lao traditions.
Draw your own Hmong Batik.
This class is an extension to the half day class where you will first receive an introduction to Hmong culture before working with a Hmong artist to draw a traditional design on hemp cloth. The extra time allows for more precision and detail.
