Everyone is welcome at the centre. Set in a tropical Mekong garden it opens doors to learning about Lao textiles and crafts. Bringing alive our concept of east meets west, the LCC is a place where you can meet silk weavers, craft artisans and silkworms and learn about textiles and take classes. We welcome you to join a free guided tour, sign up for a class, eat delicious Lao food, or just relax by the riverside with a book and a drink. Weavers at the Living Craft Centre work on traditional looms practicing the age old techniques brought here to Laos over 1200 years ago. Intern artisans from our Village Weaver Projects work alongside the Ock Pop Tok weavers learning new skills that they in turn take home to their villages. The exchanges taking place at the Living Craft Center have proven to keep alive the spirit that was prevalent during the prime of the Silk Road and all that was instrumental then in the emergence of the silk industry and appreciation of silk textiles around the world. Take the chance to discover the beauty and secrets of Lao textiles; silk weaving, natural dyes, batik drawing, bamboo weaving all while enjoying the beautiful tropical garden and the mighty Mekong River.
