More About This Experience

Come and learn traditional glass bead weaving with two Sisters from the Katu tribe. The Katu people are one of the many ethnic groups that make up Laos' cultural mosaic, and their weaving technique is truly unique. Glass bead weaving and smaller, lightweight bamboo looms are two elements that set Katu weaving apart. We want to share our passion for weaving, and spread this unique artisanal tradition to others. This craft has been passed down from generation to generation and we want to keep it alive. We offer a variety of classes for people to make their own personal traditional Lao souvenir. You can: - learn to weave your own headband - learn to weave your own necklace or bookmark - enjoy a yummy traditional Lao dinner! The base price includes a headband. OPTIONAL: You can learn how to set up the bamboo loom and bring home a set to bring home and practice your weaving skills ( 3 hours). Simply select the add-on below.
