Nussara Tiengkate is a textile historian and expert as well as designer, who has been working with communities in Mae Chaem for over 30 years. With so much passion for the art of weaving and the people she worked with, she decided to settle down in the region and has spent over two decades learning traditional Lanna weaving styles. Because Nussara became deeply inspired by the extraordinary skills passed on from one generation to another, she was motivated to combine her knowledge of design into creating modern weaving patterns. She has revived and conserved local weaving and led several development weaving-related projects to help locals sustain their lives while finding ways to integrate their work into modern perspectives. With experience, she found that textiles and other intellectual work can impact people emotionally, economically, educationally, and environmentally. She also believes that working with the new generation will give her a vision of how she should develop her work in the future. Today, she often organises workshops and exhibitions to educate people on weaving.
