Course: TTD 411 Community Project This project aims to provide social integration and community service in the field of creative cultural design for the benefit of the community.

It allows students to gain direct experience in both academic and professional aspects beyond classroom learning. Moreover, students actively engage in exchanging perspectives with community members and participating in collaborative work with various communities.

 

Under the guidance of Assistant Professor Dr. Vitawan Chanthon and Assistant Professor Dr. Kedhathai Singhin, the students of the 3rd-year Textile Design program were taken to gather information in the community. They visited the Ban Chiang Indigo-dyed cotton weaving network in Ban Chiang, Nong Han District, Udon Thani Province. They also learned about the traditional fabric weaving process at the ancient fabric weaving group in Non Kok Village, Mueang District, Udon Thani Province. Additionally, they studied the textile design process at Carpet Maker Factory in Chonburi Province and the handwoven silk business at Ban Hua Fai Mudmee Silk Community Enterprise Group in Khon Kaen Province. They also explored the history of fabric at the Chaiyaphum Ancient Fabric Museum (Huean Khammu). This project was conducted in collaboration with the Creative Young Designers Season 4 project of Pracharat Rak Samakkhi Social Enterprise (Thailand) Co., Ltd., from February 5th to 8th, 2024.
