Karen Christians has been traveling to Chiang Mai, Thailand for 4 month stays for over three years. Making in Thailand is integrated in the Thai culture from traditional Thai Chasing and Repoussé at the Silver Temple, exquisite wood carving in Bawantai, traditional Northern Thai cuisine, Karen Hill Tribe Silver jewelry, and Celedon pottery to contemporary ceramics and lacquer wooden bowls, to advances in EV technology at a Makerspace Thailand. Making is a way of life.
Join Christians to learn about Chiang Mai Design Week, which for seven days explores excellence in individual contemporary craft to unique advances in architecture and home design, celebrated throughout the entire city. Opportunities are open for everyone to learn and explore in this unique city.
