4 The ThaiCraft Corporate Gift Catalogue

We at ThaiCraft have great pleasure in presenting you with our Corporate Gift Catalogue of select products for the 2008-9 Holiday Season. It is

our hope that you will find many ideal gifts for your organisation to pres-ent to your business partners: your clients, members, staff, shareholders, conference delegates, etc. There can be no better way towards the sustainable development of local Thai communities than by supporting their own micro-enterpris-es. This is a true “business to business” partnership born out of social in-vestment and not charity. It enables village artisans to gain self-reliance from their own skills with confidence and with the dignity they deserve. ThaiCraft can help your organisation to build a meaningful part-nership by appropriately identifying and linking you with village producer groups. We can minimise your concerns by looking after production qual-ity and delivery assurance and by handling all the logistics of supply, ef-fectively and transparently. Because of our wide network of craft groups, we can source the perfect gift itself and also arrange for high quality handmade packaging and presentation that personalises your gift, re-flecting your company’s role in support of village craft producers. We invite you to meet with us for a chat about how we might help solve both your gift needs and help realise corporate social responsibility (CSR) for your organisation. By providing decent work, you will also help others to help themselves. Here are gifts with added meaning that your partners and clients are sure to appreciate.

Tao Luang StudioWhile today the district of Sankham-

phaeng remains a centre for many kinds of crafts, the Tao Luang Studio is car-rying on the original pottery tradition. Even though modern technology mass produces fine ceramics, we still trea-sure the touch and feel of handmade pottery thrown on the wheel. We mar-vel as a master potter guides the rising clay into gorgeous shapes, each one a little different. Add to this the applica-tion of decoration and colours taken from the ingredients of nature, and we have the embodiment of both art and function in one piece. That is the es-sence of the ceramic-ware of Tao Lu-ang (literally the “great kiln”), hidden away in a Lanna-styled house nestled within a small fruit orchard.

Although drawn from their heritage, maintaining ancient styles and tech-niques, the designs are distinctive and contemporary. Only local sources of clay are used, and the natural colours are taken from different varieties of wood-ash. In fact, no chemicals are applied at any stage of production.



AranyikThis high-grade stainless

steel tableware owes its origin to ancient times when Siamese kings fought battles on elephants against the invading Burmese. It is hand forged and beaten by smiths of the same community who provided weapons to the royal army in Ayuddhaya and their tools and processes have not changed much over centu-ries. Today, their classically mod-ern designs and finishing quality, still fit for a king, present a rare opportunity to own and use din-ing utensils that are caringly and individually handmade.

Na PhoThese silks from northeastern Thailand (Isarn) are very special. H.M. The

Queen has assisted an exceptionally talented weaver who presented her with an exquisite traditional pha-sin (woven skirt). The weaver’s daughter then created a production group as a means to promote the village economy, redesigning the patterns and creating modern fashions using the ancient techniques. This fabulous fabric, with choice colours, has created much interest in Europe, ap-pearing at major international exhibitions. Yet, this remains essentially a village programme centred around a community that is meeting the globalised world. Large numbers are now employed, including the disabled, truly making this an example of the “Art of Self-Reliance”.

Prae PanPrae Pan is a weaving cooperative of women

from seven rural villages, each hand-crafting a different type or style of textile. All weavings are naturally dyed and colour-fixed using local plants and trees. Both cotton and silk are used , often with traditional mudmee designs where the weft yarns are tie-dyed prior to weaving to create patterns that fall into place when woven onto the warp. This hand-made product from Khon Kaen, northeastern Thailand, represents the preservation of an age-old village craft of high quality while the income gener-ated empowers women to influence and maintain the true values of their community in today’s fast changing society.

Pan Mai“Pan Mai” (a mix of woods)

refers to the leaves, fruits, flowers, sap, berries, barks and roots that create natural dye colours for silk and cotton weaving by a women’s cooperative in a dozen villages in Isarn (northeastern Thailand). Es-tablished by the Appropriate Tech-nologyAssociationinthe1980storevive nearly lost dyeing traditions, the cooperative now runs itself, successfully providing much-needed additional income through a rural home industry in an area often suf-fering from long periods of drought. Some of the women specialize in weaving while others focus on sew-ing and dressmaking, thus adding value and enhanced beauty to their products.

Nong TakaiNong Takai is a typical Isarn* village. Its

flat, arid fields depend on uncertain rain to yield a sufficient rice crop. Instead of mi-grating, the women find extra income from their refined skills to create Thai silk-from the moth to the cloth. By blending tech-niques and patterns from both Lao and Khmer cultures, a distinctive product range is woven from the silky smooth inner to the coarser outer cocoon-spun yarns.

*Isarn = Northeast region of Thailand

Araya CraftNestled in a lush, tropical valley be-

neath southern Thailand’s highest moun-tain range, lies a small fruit orchard where a ceramics workshop provides some twen-ty young people with creative work in a quiet, pollution-free environment close to their homes. Araya’s workshop is orga-nized by a craft teacher who saw the need to give opportunity to young craftspeople to earn a living from their newly acquired skills. The products reflect the nature around them and many are moulded in forms of leaf containers often found in a typical morning fresh market.

Chachoengsao CraftsThe joy of village crafts often comes from the transformation of waste into

an attractive object. Water buffalo horn from controlled abattoirs is carefully selected for its colour, white and light brown being rarer than black. Artisans in Chachoengsao, east of Bangkok, sand the rough horn, slice it to size and, sitting cross-legged with the horn in their toes, carve using home-made chisels and horn mallets. Final polishing and buffing reveals the full shining beauty of this natural material.

Recycled Paper Products

Creating attractive and fun products from waste paper means a welcome concern for the environ-ment and a ready source for raw materials-particularly in the densely populated Bangkok slums. Catching this idea from a TV programme, two women have developed their skill almost to an art-form and, in doing so, are providing extra income for a growing number of low-income families in their neighbourhood and the products are great to own too.

Chainat BasketOnce troublesome for relentlessly

clogging Thailand’s water-ways, the prolific water hyacinth (pak tob java) is now considered a fine material for strong, high-quality basketry by vil-lages living near the rivers and canals of the central plains. In Chainat, 200 Kms north of Bangkok, artisans cre-ate attractive and durable baskets in a project promoting activities for the older generation. The water hyacinth now provides a new and sustainable supplementary income for village peo-ple of all ages.

Baan Talae NokThe most outsiders, the Andaman Sea on southern Thailand’s west coast is a n

exotic holiday playground of turquoise seas emerald islands, stunning coral and hot, palm-lined beaches. For the Muslin fishing community of Baan Talae Nok, this sea was their workplace and provider of food, the coastline their home and extra income came from cashew nut orchards not far from the shore. Life was basic but proudly self-sufficient….that was before the tsunami struck on December 26th, 2004.

Most of their community was totally destroyed. Their homes, their school, their boats, their trees and most tragically, many village people indiscriminately-husbands, wives, and children. In a trauma about the sea, which had always willingly provided but now has angrily taken away, a group of the women who lost their loved ones have found a new occupation that is giving them new interest as well as healing therapy. Soap-making is helping them to wash away their fears and hopelessness.

The handmade soaps reflect the seashore shells and pebbles. They also look inland to the tocks and trees of the tropical mountainside, a safer haven behind the village. The women have added locally found natural ingredients and, partly with the assistance of the Kiriwong craft community in a neighbouring province, to earn much needed income as well as kindling a spirit of renewal.

Doi TaoPreserving their craft heritage is important to this ethnic Skor Karen tribal com-

munity in Chiang Mai Province, northern Thailand. They have built a training centre from bamboo where the young women learn backstrap weaving in handed-down patterns as well as techniques to use materials from the trees around them as dyes. By avoiding dangerous chemicals and protecting nature, a new generation can look forward to a healthy means of supplementary income in their own village. The purchase of this quality ethnic product helps to assure them a bright future within their own cultural tradition.



A major goal of ThaiCraft is to work with village artisans to preserve their cultural traditions in craft for the benefit of their own and future generations. While this can be achieved by creating a market for ethnic crafts, a certain amount of adaptation is necessary to respond to global market trends and fashion.

When a community, such as the Karen tribal group, already recognizes the vital importance of their cultural heritage, adaptation does not mean a loss of their indigenous skills but rather a pow-erful force to ensure that a new generation can continue to benefit from their identity, as seen from both within and outside their own ethnic sur-roundings.

Doi Tao, a district in Chiang Mai province, is quite remotely situated and, even only a few years ago, the women of the S’kaw Karen tribal vil-lages in the hills knew little of the outside world. Life changed little and they made all their clothing and household textiles from their own grown cot-ton yarns, which they dyed using the vegetation gathered from nearby forests.

The past generation, though, has seen enormous changes. New development has brought roads, electricity, education, public health and material-ism. Sudden communication with the world outside

soon endangers many of the cherished traditional values.

The challenge is how to preserve the values for the benefit of the young and future generations. The only answer is to meet the new situation face to face and accept change as a benefit rather than a threat. The indigenous fabric-making skills can be turned into a successful local industry with a market directed to outsiders who admire the hand-made, ethnic look. Weavings can be sold in fairs, like ThaiCraft, in Bangkok or in Chiang Mai, and even at the village itself (see box below). Please stop by our Karen demonstrators and maybe buy some of there durable and attractive weavings. Is so doing. You will be helping these proud people to preserve their valuable heritage for the future.

In 2006, ThaiCraft was given a great oppor-tunity by EARCOS* to provide conference supply and valuable gifts for the “Shared Vision through Collaboration, Technology and Global Aware-ness” Conference taken place at Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok.

The conference bags from Doi Tao were one of the outstanding supplies during that time and could draw deep impression and appreciation on the product quality, the practical functionality, and indeed background story with the premium service from ThaiCraft team.

Almost a hundred artisans and ThaiCraft team added full attention and expertise in this job and the result has never been disappointed.

Karen Weavers, determined to pass on their traditions to a new generation, earn support by supplying delegate bags and gift items for a Bangkok conference.
