About the event

Legend and Lustre: Jim Thompson and Thai Silk

Denise Heywood presents this illustrated talk. Jim Thompson arrived in Bangkok as a US army officer in 1945, fell in love with it and stayed. Captivated by the beauty of Thai silk, an ancient craft in decline, he resuscitated it and made it famous, creating costumes for films and embellishing his house, which today is a museum.
Doors open 18:30 for refreshments. Guests welcome £7 (or guest token) on the door. See our website for more information about joining The Arts Society Sandwich
