    Begin your creative journey with a warm welcome from skilled local artisans at the Porsaa Learning Center & Art Gallery. You'll be guided through the fascinating process of making traditional Saa paper, crafted from the bark of fast-growing mulberry bushes—an essential resource for both the handicraft and silk industries in northern Laos. This sustainable material is transformed into beautiful handmade sheets, offering a meaningful connection to Lao culture. During the workshop, you’ll design and personalize your own mulberry paper using fresh flowers, leaves, and natural elements. As you work alongside artisans, you’ll gain insight into the cultural significance of Saa paper and its role in local businesses.
