"Laotian fabrics that give you a taste of the softness of time"
Hand-spun, hand-woven, plant-dyed fabric that is still made in Laos, Southeast Asia.
When you look closely at this cloth, which is made entirely by hand, you will see that there are no uniform spots, and when you touch it, your heart will suddenly feel soothed.

You can feel the soft atmosphere of the village and the time it takes for the fabric to be created.
We hope you will come into contact with the clothes and miscellaneous goods made from such fabrics and experience the gentle "time" that goes with them.

This is a workshop where you can embroider on hand-woven cotton fabric in Laos.
Why not try adding colorful traditional Laotian motifs?
I would be delighted if this time could be a time when you can slowly savor the present moment, as if in meditation.
As a lecturer, the artist embroiders lively images of caterpillars.
