About the host
Siripohn lives in Chiang Dao, a place where she found the space to bring together art, nature, and everyday life. After spending some time in Japan, she returned to Thailand with a deep interest in craftsmanship and natural dyes, learning the art of indigo dyeing alongside masters and artisans who shaped her path.
Today, she shares that knowledge from her studio, surrounded by greenery, where she invites people to discover the origins of colors, work with dye plants, and experience the process firsthand.
Outside the workshop, she participates in educational and creative initiatives for young people in northern Thailand, using art as a tool to open up new possibilities and build confidence and creativity.
Perhaps that is what makes this place so special. Amid plants, textiles, and conversations, indigo becomes a way to share stories, knowledge, and the life that Siripohn has built in Chiang Dao.
