Our walks around the neighborhood usually lead us to something interesting. Last week we passed an Art Studio Space where people were working on block print projects. Narodom Kamenketwit is a charcoal and woodcut artist and he has started teaching small groups of students. Monday, I returned to learn more!
Below is one of his works.
Now my turn. I used an exacto knife to cut out the images, then rolled the ink onto the stencils I’d cut and created my own work. It was great fun!
Today Narodom (also know as Bo), taught a watercolor class. A young Thai woman and I were the only students. He set up the still life below for us to paint.
The studio is a wonderful open space that can be configured for many kinds of projects. Below is view of the creative room where the class was held. My attempt at capturing the images in watercolor is nearby.
Bo is hosting an exhibition on Friday evening and we are invited! It should be fun.
Work continues on the Chedi structure at Wat Ket but we’ve decided that it’s a cleaning project. Some of the scaffolding has been removed and it looks shinier at the top!
The weather is warm and all is well! We have one more week before we make our way home!
