"I had the opportunity to attend the Creative Chiang Mai professional development for educators and it was the best PD I’ve had in years… possibly ever! I am a visual arts educator and wanted to connect our curriculum to our host country, Thailand. The experiences were absolutely incredible, two solid days of making, learning, connecting and understanding. On the final day Taura’s expertise as an educational leader and facilitator lead us through reflection, sharing and best of all time to collaborate with our team and update our curriculum documents so we can carry this learning straight back to our context. Thank you to Taura, the Just Love crew and all the kind, patient and caring community that shared their knowledge, expertise and stories with us." - Anna
"What a great experience! I signed up for the Creative Chiang Mai workshop, and I cannot say enough good things. I was welcomed with a basket in my hotel room as well as a dinner at B Sam Cook restaurant - one of the best restaurants with the kindest chef and staff I have experienced in Thailand. As an art teacher in Thailand, I learned so much from workshops with silversmiths, paper makers, and potters. The second day included a trip to a village where I worked alongside a textile maker from the Karen hill tribe and learned to embroider. Included were also a traditional lunch, a natural-dye workshop, a village walk, a basketry workshop, and I tried my hand at traditional weaving. The workshops culminated in a session to reflect on ways I can embed my learning into my curriculum. I am working with Taura to make contacts to purchase locally sourced materials for my art room. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is eager to learn more about the artisans of northern Thailand. I have taught for a long time, and I can easily say this is one of the best professional development workshops I have had in my career." -Jenny
