The story behind the patterns

Acheik is a silk woven in wave-like bands, using up to a hundred shuttles. Similar designs appear on Pyu pottery and in Bagan temple paintings. You can also add a Kinnari or Kinnara, a Hintha, a peacock, a chinthe or an elephant. These motifs come from the Burmese court tradition and are redrawn for this workshop.

The workshop is held ahead of Thadingyut Festival, Burma’s festival of lights.
