In the shadows of Angkor Wat, the non-profit organization Artisans d’Angkor is reviving the artisanal traditions of the Khmer civilization. Artisans d’Ankor provides skills and employment to 1300 artisans in Cambodia who otherwise might be working for low wages in mass production factories. Instead, they are creating exquisite silk textiles, lacquer ware, stone and wood carvings through traditional techniques while living in their customary villages.
