Have you ever wanted to learn how to embroider like a Hmong woman, or try your hand at Khmu bamboo weaving?
TAEC is now offering half-day workshops for you! These fun activities are taught by Hmong and Kmhmu artisans, and include a tour of the TAEC exhibits, all materials, and an ethnic food lunch in Le Patio Café. Depending on group size, prices start at just $30 per person, and you can take your handicraft home with you. E-mail our team for details.
Also there is a short promotional video available for the TAEC in Luang Prabang and we hope to be able to send more and more people to this wonderful location and project.
The Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre is a museum in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang, Lao PDR. It is the only independent non-profit museum and resource centre in Laos dedicated to the collection, preservation, and interpretation of the traditional arts and lifestyles of the country’s many and diverse ethnic groups.
