The porcelain creations are also on sale, and a portion of the proceeds goes to the foundation. “This remarkable exhibition prioritises preservation and the inheritance of unique traditional crafts,” says Bangsai Centre vice president Professor Thanin Kraivichien. The quality and artistic value of these earthenware pieces have been recognised nationally with multiple awards in various ceramics competitions. Also of note is the metal sculpture “Knowledge, Passion and Unity” by Panom Samatong, who heads the ceramics department at Bangsai. Inspired by the late monarch’s philosophy on life, Panom seeks to convey its applicability in every situation.
