OckPopTok has a weaving and cultural centre where you can witness the silk- and cotton- weaving process from scratch. The skill and patience required to master these looms is quite remarkable and the 15 weavers here are true masters. Fortunately you can try your own hand at the art by taking a small-group class in dyeing and weaving. A Lao lunch is included and you take home your handiwork. Make bookings at its gallery.
