Right after my trip to Cambodia, I have been to the Northern part of Vietnam, \u00a0in the midst of the Asian New Year and I have been researching remarkable textile techniques.<\/p>\n
The Ethnography\u00a0Museum of \u00a0Hanoi<\/strong> shows in the best way the costumes and know-how of the fifty-four ethnic groups living in the country from North to South. It has inspired me to go in Sapa area, to follow Red Dao tribe\u00a0women who are talented embroiderers. I also took the opportunity to visit a local market attended by many other tribes. In Hanoi, the Craft Link<\/a> NGO actively supports Vietnamese artisans, whether they are from ethnic minorities, people with disabilities or working in small local structures. Through them, I have met Ngoc Bich who works on silk in a unique way in the Thai Binh\u00a0area.<\/p>\n Dao embroidery to twisted silk, Vietnam shows an invigorating and fascinating\u00a0variety of textiles and I hope to return soon for other discoveries. Have a look at the textiles stories<\/strong>\u00a0below and at the landscapes and sensations of Vietnam there<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
