Studio Naenna

I attended a 4-day back strap loom weaving workshop at Studio Naenna and it was truly exceptional. I came in with absolutely no weaving experience, but with the guidance of a master weaver I was able to create a textile far beyond what I expected - and had a lot of fun doing so. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. You can really feel the passion they have for textiles and preserving traditional techniques. One of the standout parts for me was being able to see the full process—from raw threads to finished cloth. If you’re interested in weaving, design, textiles, or simply want to try something new and creative, I can’t recommend Studio Naenna enough. This workshop was the absolute highlight of my time in Thailand 🙏

My friend and I had a great time learning about their products and history of studio naenna. We appreciate staffs kindly explain regarding their products and some processes. My friend likes woven scarfs. I like colorful Karen stripe purse. In order to see Patricia Cheesman Collection, you will need to contact a staff in advance through studio naenna email

We did an indigo dye technique workshop here and would highly recommend it. These ladies have so much knowledge, and willingly share the of history about natural dying and weaving. I bought some original and unique dresses and a embroidered piece from the gallery, all made with the same dying processes used for years here. Great setting out if town. Such a special experience and lovely ladies.

I visited Studio Naenna from Sydney, AUS for a private week-long backstrap weaving course with the women at this working studio. It was one of the most nourishing experiences I have had. The teachers were so patient and kind (I had never worked with a loom before), and I am absolutely thrilled with the end result. I wove for 17 hours across the week, with cotton hand-dyed with plants by the women working here. It was amazing to be nestled in with the sewers and the dyers and the weavers, along with the shop full of beautiful handmade garments. I am so grateful for the generosity of this community to open up their doors (and veranda!) to someone who has no idea what they were doing. I left with my woven item, a bag of cotton and a new craft I can’t wait to devote myself to learning back home. I hope to be back, there is so much to learn!!

This is a studio for coloring the fabric, it shows how to tie-dye, weave, and dye the thread. It is small but the decoration is very delicate, the main color of the building is brown and some of them are made of wood 🪵 It sells hand-made closes and also fabric to the people who live in the village and visitors.

A place of wonders :) Patricia is a legit wise woman. Engaging, hilarious, down to earth and clear with the delivery of her vast expanse of knowledge on the eco dying realm. We enjoyed a 3 day workshop - harvesting, processing & dying with indigo. Definitely makes you appreciate the intricacies and labor intensive aspects of these hand crafts! Just wow! As for Patricia...I could have seriously listened to her talk forever. Both her and Lamorna Are Delightful humans! Artisans with an evident and active love for the Earth. How does it get any better? 💙💙💙💙

Excellent place! I signed up for the 1 week back strap weaving workshop via email about 2 weeks ahead of time and got quick replies with all the needed information. Very happy with what I learned and my finished textile. Each week they can teach 2 people, so it’s best to sign up as far in advance as you can. Everyone at the studio is very friendly and kind. The teacher is very knowledgeable and helpful, and there are plenty of English speaking people to help out with any translations. There’s a lot going on in the studio so you might get to see some interesting dyeing processes as well. I finished the entire process in 4 days but I’m generally speedy when I craft. Suggest you bring your lunch or else prepare to order delivery as it’s a bit far from restaurants.

I attended a fabric weaving class. The staff and teachers are very friendly and lovely. I would recommend this studio. ❤️
