Artisans Angkor
Artisans Angkor was created in 1999 to help young people find work in their home villages, allowing them to practice their crafts while providing them with a vocation. It was created as part of a three-year project to integrate young artisans trained by the Chantiers-Ecoles de Formation Professionnelle – whose objective is to revive traditional craft skills (stone carving, wood carving, lacquering, gilding and silk processing). We place a strong emphasis on the authenticity of its products to the Khmer culture. In 2003, we became a limited company with minor public participation and are now completely self-financed.

Khmer Ceramics Centre
Supporting the rebirth of lost skills in Khmer ceramics
The Khmer Ceramic Centre (KCC) and its young Khmer students are passionate about reviving the ancient skill of creating traditional, high quality, Khmer ceramics that once thrived during the Khmer Empire from 802 to 1432. NCKCR was created in 2006 to revive this knowledge and offers its vocational training for young disadvantaged persons at the centre and rural workshops. They are of great interest and fascination to most people especially if your visit coincides with the regular firing of one of them. These kilns operate at very high temperatures, between 1000°C to 1400°C (1800°F to 2550°F).
