Story Behind the Art:

'I am Nantana Sompamitre. I was born in a village in northern Thailand. My father is a craftsman and was always teaching us. My husband changed my life, he is a lacquerware artisan. We married when I was 23 years old. We realized that with his skill and mine, we could start our own workshop. He taught me and thanks to my crafting background, I learned quickly. We went to Bangkok and got our first consignment order! Gradually more shops took an interest in our work and we soon began to sell more. We were very happy as we could see we had a bright future ahead of us. Now we have more than 30 artisans working with us, and my husband and I always train them personally. I love this craft very much. It is a Thai heritage and not everyone can do it.'
