BRITISH COUNCIL - PIN METAL ART
STORY
Shot for the British Council in Bangkok.
Step inside the workshop of Saruta Kiatparkpoom in Thailand and discover how she gives a second life to the waste metal from her family's factory by crafting sculptural homeware.
Part of the British Council's Why I Make film series for our global programme, Crafting Futures. Commissioned to celebrate craft and share maker's stories from around the globe; to inspire us and to show the value of craft in our history, culture and world today. From embroidery in Mexico to glassblowing in the UK and batik in Malaysia, find inspiration in the stories and work of these practitioners as they tell us, 'Why I Make'.
Saruta is an artist and designer based in Bangkok, Thailand. She founded her brand, PiN, creating sculptural designs for interiors using scrap metal from her family's factory.
