Today was our "artsy" day. We started off with a visit to Artisans d' Angkor, a Cambodian social business started in 1992 to create job opportunities for young people living in rural areas, while reviving at the same time traditional Khmer craftsmanship such as stone and wood carving, painting on statues and on silk, lacquering, and silver plating.
The different stages of the painting process.
David trying his hand at carving stone.
Grace scraping away at a design.
Tristan taking a whack at it.
But I think we'll leave it to the pros.
The different stages of carving.
We could've spent a ton of money in the shop there it was all so beautiful.
