STARRY CREATION<br />
Only a few minutes’ walk from <strong>Bangkok</strong>’s Phrom Phong Skytrain station,<br />
the small and homey Stella Art café makes a gigantic impression with its<br />
fiesta <strong>of</strong> colours. Step through its doors and you find a workshop dedicated<br />
to Benjarong, where visitors can participate in making these traditional<br />
<strong>Thai</strong> ceramics.<br />
Derived from Sanskrit, “Benjarong” means pottery <strong>of</strong> five colours. This<br />
sophisticated ceramicware dates back to the Ayutthaya Era, when it was<br />
reserved exclusively for royal family members and noblemen. Fast forward<br />
to the present day, and anyone interested can craft their own Benjarong<br />
beauties by selecting from the café’s collection <strong>of</strong> mugs, dishes, cups,<br />
saucers and more, before painting it in their unique combination <strong>of</strong> 30<br />
standard colours under the attentive guidance <strong>of</strong> the café’s staff. Stella Art<br />
Café will then fire your creation in its kiln, allowing you to pick up your one-<br />
<strong>of</strong>-a-kind Benjarong after one week, or have it delivered to your doorstep.<br />
Let the creativity flow! Open Monday-Saturday, stellaartcafe.com/en<br />
