2017 Watercolor and Mural Art Workshops with Children’s Shelter Foundation, Chiang Mai, Thailand
GLOCAP’s longest-running collaboration has been with the students of Children’s Shelter Foundation in Chiang Mai, Thailand. In 2017 we returned to conduct watercolor art workshops organized by Timothy Lomas on the flora and fauna of Thailand and then to transfer our results into beautiful murals which decorated their outdoor kitchen, student dining area, and library. Local guest artists included Worawuth Srakeo, Lili Tan, Chris Chun, and Ralph Kiggel. It was a wonderful series of art workshops which we look forward to continue and build upon in the coming years ahead. Thank you to all of our friends and loved ones at Joy’s House / Children’s Shelter Foundation! You are always an inspiration and pleasure to collaborate with in a spirit of creativity and cultural exchange.
