I am the 2nd generation of my familys brassware business that started 50 years ago. I was involved in this craft since I was young, as an assistant to my father. After I graduated, my relatives and I cooperated to work together. The craft starts from either trimming pure brass sheet to fit a mold or using a casting methodit depends on the type of product. We have many stages of production; some must be done by hand, and some use machines. Now we have about 100 craftsmen; some live with us, and some live in Bangkok or in a nearby province. We take very good care of our workers and live like a family. We share the work by ability; if someone was good at making brass pans, he would do it continually. I hope the new generation will get to know the value of Thai brass, because the traditional designs represent the Thai culture from the past to the present. I want this unique brassware to become more popular on the international market.
