Thailand Printmaking Festival 2025

July 19, 2025

I was at the recent Thailand Printmaking Festival 2025, held at Central Chidlom in Bangkok, Thailand. It was a great showcase of artistic talent and different printmaking techniques. For anyone passionate about art, design, or unique handmade creations, this event was truly a highlight.

Take a virtual stroll through the event with me! You can get a feel for the atmosphere and see some of the incredible exhibits in my Instagram Reel walking tour:

Imagine stepping into a busy hall filled with different printmaking methods, from traditional techniques to contemporary approaches. That’s exactly what attendees experienced at the Thailand Printmaking Festival. It was a rare opportunity to see numerous Bangkok print studios and talented printmaking artists gathered in one convenient location, something that’s usually impossible to do with studios scattered across the city.

The festival was a treasure trove for art enthusiasts, featuring:

  • Framed art and art prints displayed and available for purchase.
  • Ceramics and other handmade art alongside the print works.
  • Interactive workshops and activity spaces where visitors could try their hand at rubber stamping and journaling. These hands-on activities brought the art of printmaking to life for everyone.

I loved the energy at the Thailand Printmaking Festival 2025. It really showed me that printmaking in Thailand is a thriving art. It’s more than just a technique; it’s an dynamic art form constantly evolving. Seeing so many dedicated artists and studios exhibiting their design processes and finished works reaffirmed the appeal and creativity within the printmaking community in Thailand.

Events like these are fantastic opportunities to discover new artists, explore different printmaking techniques, and even bring home a unique piece of art. I hope to be back in Bangkok for future creative festivals like this. Scroll down for more photos of the event!

On a sunny afternoon in Tokyo, my family and I made the short walk from Kuramae Station to Kakimori, a stationery lover’s dream tucked away in the neighborhood. 
 
The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by shelves lined with fountain pens, rollerballs, inks, and stationery. Across the shop were displays of different paper options for those looking to customize their own notebooks. 
 
Of course, I had to try Kakimori’s signature dip pens. However, I found the nib a little too thick for writing. 
 
Upstairs, I visited Inkstand, where one can create their own custom ink blends. It was a fun space to explore, and the view overlooking the shop below was a nice bonus. 
 
I left with a couple of fountain pens and inks that I’m excited to share in my next post! ✒️

When was the last time you wrote a letter to yours When was the last time you wrote a letter to yourself? 💌 
 
During our workshop, everyone received these pretty Cafe Mary Grace greeting cards. The prompt was simple: write something heartfelt. It could be for a loved one, or a message for your future self. 
 
I decided to write to my future self for this demo. No need for perfection, just enjoying the ink touching the paper, especially when the paper is this smooth. 
 
Save this for the next time you need a reminder to slow down and check in with yourself. 🤍

A slow afternoon well spent. 🤍    I recently taugh A slow afternoon well spent. 🤍 
 
I recently taught the very first workshop for @cafemarygrace ‘s Art of Slow series at their gorgeous Parqal Mall branch. Instead of worrying about perfect technical form, we focused entirely on intention, mindful creation, and embracing the simple joys of slow living. 
 
The afternoon culminated in everyone writing a heartfelt letter to themselves or someone they love, finished with a traditional wax seal. ✉️✨ 
 
To cap off the experience, we treated our senses to Mary Grace’s delicious new menu additions: the Vigan Longganiza Pasta, refreshing Lemon Basil Soda, and their delicious Mango Mousse. 
 
Thank you to everyone who paused their busy days to create with us. Here’s to more moments of slowing down.
