PHRA TAMNAK SUAN KULARB SCHOOL FOR ADULTS While technology continues its advance, there was a time when Thai arts seemed to have been standing still, almost in danger of disappearing since there were no systems of teaching them and passing on knowledge. HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn thus ordered the foundation of this school to revive Thai craftsmanship and conserve Thai arts as a living force. The emphasis is on teaching those who wish to take up arts as a career, and not simply collect tuition fees. The study of each main subject takes one year, with five months or one term for optional subjects. Candidates for the school must be aged at least 15 years, and must pay the costs of study equipment themselves. Men's College in the Court: Teaches drawing, carving, gold lacquerwork, nielloware, stucco carving, Bencharong, industrial sewing and other crafts. Women's College in the Court: Teaches three subjects: Thai Royal food, including fruit carving; flower arranging, artificial flowers and garlands making and banana leaf weaving; and traditional hand embroidery.
