Brass Weaving (SACIT)
(cr. SACIT)
Brass basketry is a unique evolution of Thailand’s traditional weaving techniques, replacing bamboo with delicate brass threads to create elegant, durable works of art. Once reserved for luxury households and fine hotel decor, this craft showcases the precision, patience, and innovation of Thai artisans.
Though fewer artisans practice this demanding craft today, it remains a symbol of Thai ingenuity and artistic refinement. The Thailand Foundation invites you to read this article, published by the Sustainable Arts and Crafts Institute of Thailand or SACIT (formerly known as The SUPPORT Arts and Crafts International Centre of Thailand), which delves into the history, techniques, and evolution of brass basketry, showcasing its place in Thailand’s cultural and artistic legacy.
