Ock Pop Tok Living Crafts Centre
Ban Saylom, Mekong riverside, Laos
At Ock Pop Tok’s riverside Living Crafts Centre, working looms and skilled artisans show how Lao textiles are made. A guided introduction offers a good starting point, while classes let visitors try techniques such as natural dyeing, silk weaving or batik. This is the workshop site outside the historic centre, rather than the smaller town shop. Check the current shuttle schedule and book a class ahead if making something yourself is the main reason for visiting.
