| Wood Craving Workshop |
 |
| They are so artistic! |
Exploring around Siem Reap was like reading the art books chapter by chapter. Every chapter full with graphics and had its own story to tell. That was I felt when I was in Siem Reap.

| Hello there mister!! Welcome |
 |
| A women craving the woods. |
I was realized that the art industries is really important to the Cambodian. But from time to time, you will discover all the arts were using the Hinduism & Buddhism motives.

“Artisan”, ART!. In Malay, “artis” means someone who active in art.
Artisan D’Angkor is situated at Sivantha St. Just next to my hotel.
 |
| Concentration is the key of perfection |
 |
| Is this a school? Where is the instructor? |

We went here by our rented bicycles.
Artisan D’Angkor is a really beautiful shop. Selling the souvenirs most probably from the wood craving.
 |

 |
| Welcome... please come in...jangan malu jangan segan! |
At here, there is a art school named Les Chantier’s Ecoles. This school is specializing in teaching wood & stone carving techniques to impoverished youngsters.
All the items had been done by the students from this school.
 |
| This is where they burnt! |
 |
| Where is the safety |
But I just wonder, why some of them are old. But people said “to gain a knowledge, no matter what age you are”.
 |
| Is that a pumpkin? |
 |
| Burning process! |
 |
| The Buddha |

Of course if you going to buy something, then it is a different story.
