Both Prapalpun and Ampornpun are working in northeastern Thailand in Sakonnakorn, where traditional weavers are known for the use of indigo and other natural dyes in their clothing. Ampompun is a farmer and weaver who had organized a cooperative of weavers in her village, encouraging use of home-grown silk and cotton and natural dyes.

Prapalpun has continued her family tradition of weaving using homespun cotton and silk. Her mother, a famous weaver, is one of Thailand’s living national treasures.
