Cambodian silk weaving

Cambodian silk weaving is a traditional craft that transforms raw silkworm cocoons into intricate, vibrant textiles. Artisans carefully spin the silk threads, often using age-old techniques passed down through generations, to create detailed patterns featuring symbols inspired by local culture, nature, and mythology. The process involves hand-weaving on traditional looms, resulting in high-quality fabrics used for clothing, ceremonial garments, and accessories. This craft preserves Cambodia’s cultural heritage, showcasing both artistic skill and the region’s rich history of silk production, and it remains a vital part of local identity and craftsmanship.
