Three hours weaving. You'll never look at a market scarf the same way.

About this experience

In Ken's words.

Ken's Hmong-Lao textile space in central Vientiane. He'll explain the meaning of the patterns first — the snail, the elephant's foot, the snake's track — then sit you at a small floor loom and walk you through the basic pattern. Three hours is enough for a short scarf you take home. Coffee and Hmong tea served throughout.
