Borderline Collective

This Saturday, our friends at Kickstart Art, will honour their friend Saw Kyaw Khai with a retrospective show.
The Art Community in Mae Sot is a very special kind, and Saw Kyaw Khai personified that.
In general an artist creates expressions of her or his personality and emotions. In Mae Sot most artists use their skills to teach young people how to express their feelings and emotions. Thus operating in a variety of fields. A child who finds an outlet of emotions, has a tool to deal with those emotions.
Saw Kyaw Khai stood more often in front of classrooms than he did in galleries, while his art has all the qualities to cover walls.
This Saturday is an opportunity to look at the life of Saw Kyaw Khai through the canvasses and papers he covered with paint. And you will meet his colleagues and most important, his students, of which there are hundreds, perhaps thousands.

You are invited to join us for this weekend exhibition of "WART CARTOON".

The Sisters must have been blessed when they made bread this week. The Panini and Baguettes are as big as the Whole Wheat bread.
We stocked our Muesli, Bread Spreads, Coffees and Teas. All local, all supportive of our communities. And all delicious.

We received some new titles from our friends Burma Study Centre in Chiang Mai.
In addition our friends from Thabyay brought fresh Self study books for Thai, Karen and Burmese speakers.
And we do have great learning books from our friends at Mote Oo.
Yes, we do have many friends, including you.
So check these books out, or scan the free books in our Borderline Book Bar at the end of the Tea Garden, to have something to read with your coffee or just come and sit down and enjoy our latest change in the garden.

Art, food and music. Join us now.

The exhibition The Rivers has extended so please come and admire the beautiful art.
