Explore the world of Lao weaving with textile expert Dr. Linda S. McIntosh. This intimate experience reveals the stories behind the intricate patterns and centuries-old techniques that make Luang Prabang’s handwoven textiles so unique
Begin at Gallery ASIAMA, where museum-quality fabrics showcase traditional designs once reserved for royalty and special ceremonies. Dr. McIntosh will guide you through the symbolism and meaning woven into each piece, helping you understand the meaning and the beauty of these patterns.
Then, cross the Mekong River to visit a working weaving center. Watch local artisans dye threads, operate looms, and create the delicate fabrics by hand. Here, you will gain insight into the meticulous craft behind each textile—and even purchase this back home with you.
