The Beauty of a Banjasiri Thai Silk Jar

Tambon Klong Phra Udom, a Community Economic Network of Benjapon, Lat Lum Kaeo in Prathum Thani Province, recognizes this vital element as the community has experience with existing, well-known folk products.

As a result, its members came together to introduce new products using a combination of traditional wisdom and unique Thai attributes as their approach to making Thai pottery; the way Thai silk, cotton and other fabrics have done before. By incorporating these two elements with three other major components including thread, glue and scissors, a discrete kind of pottery was born, know appropriately as Banjasiri Thai Silk Jar.
