Review Body: Incredible, authentic experience in Chiang Dao! Siriphon is so passionate and knowledgeable about her work, it is a pleasure to learn her skills and techniques from indigo dying! She also explained how she extracted the dye from her own plants which was so interesting! She gave us so much creative freedom to make our best work. A must do if you’re in Chiang Dao, i now have a bandana and beautiful large shawl to remember my time there! Stunning results as well! the dyes are absolutely beautiful and no matter your skill level it turns out awesome. my partner and i loved it and would visit again when we come back to Chiang Dao :)

Review Body: A friend and I did a 1/2 day workshop. It was terrific. We got individual attention, made our own dyed items, explored the gallery, and purchased some special items. This is a must do, when in the area, if you like art.

Discover the art and story of indigo dyeing from masters & create 8 masterpieces
Tucked in the quiet hills of Chiang Dao, indigo isn’t just a colour - it’s an ancient craft and a way of living with nature.At Hui’s studio, you’ll spend the day learning from a close-knit community of indigo artisans. Hui spent many years in Japan, taking courses and honing her skills in garment-making and dyeing techniques, before returning to Thailand with a dream to live gently and stay close to the land. Today, she blends Japanese indigo methods with northern Thai traditions, preserving this age-old craft with the support of local women artisans.You'll pick fresh leaves from the garden, stir your own dye vat, and learn Hui’s secret blend of techniques that you won't find anywhere else. Craft eight pieces to take home - from bandanas, shawls, fisherman pants & more!But this experience isn’t just about dyeing - it’s about slowing down, working with your hands, and rediscovering what it means to live gently with nature. You'll learn to dye each piece slowly, with care and intention, using only what nature provides. No chemicals, no shortcuts - just patience in the process of nature. Even your private rooms are decorated with hand-dyed indigo textiles!When you're not dyeing, you'll enjoy homemade Thai breakfasts and lunches, freshly cooked with local ingredients (vegan options available). In the evening, you’re free to wander to a nearby local eatery - all part of the laid-back pace here.What to ExpectMake your own indigo dye - pick the leaves, stir the vat, dip the clothLearn Hui’s signature techniques - a blend of Japanese & Thai secrets you won’t find elsewhereCraft 8 pieces to take home : bandanas, shawls, t-shirts, fisherman pants & moreConnect with local women artisans.

Lerne deinen Gastgeber kennen
Hui ist das Herz eines ruhigen Ateliers, versteckt in den Ausläufern der Berge im Norden Thailands. Nachdem sie über ein Jahrzehnt in Japan verbracht hatte, kehrte sie mit mehr als nur Können nach Hause zurück. Sie kam mit dem Wunsch zurück, achtsam zu leben und der Erde nah zu bleiben.
Sie begann, Indigo mit ihren eigenen Händen anzubauen, und lud Frauen aus der Region, Mütter, Ältere und Kunsthandwerkerinnen ein, mitzumachen. Gemeinsam färben sie jedes Stück langsam, mit Sorgfalt und Bewusstsein, und nutzen dabei nur das, was die Natur schenkt. Keine Chemikalien, keine Abkürzungen, nur Geduld und Vertrauen in die Schönheit, die mit der Zeit entsteht.
Für Hui ist Indigo mehr als eine Farbe. Es ist eine Lebensweise, ein Zeichen für Geduld, Verbundenheit und stille Veränderung. In diesem kleinen Ort, den sie geschaffen haben, werden Gemeinschaft und Tradition nicht nur bewahrt, sondern von Herzen geschätzt. Es ist ein Ort, an dem alles langsam und mit Bedeutung wächst, genau so, wie es sein sollte.
