The friendly and informative staff enhance the experience, making it a highly recommended creative activity. Some find the process requires patience, but the end result is always rewarding.
"When you travel through Myanmar and visit pagodas you will have come across gold leaf vendors.
This workshop produced them.
Staff explains the extremely laborious and time-consuming process of turning gold strips into super-thin gold leaves and of manufacturing bamboo paper.
The leaflet for 1,000 MKK describes both processes and it comes with a gold leaf."
René Schüler
"Quite an interesting place where you can see the gold leaf making. From the process of making bamboo sheets to making gold leaf and then preparing stacks, all of it can be seen here. You can shop some souvenirs as well."
Nidhi Goyal
"Interesting place to learn about the gold leaf making process. The staff are friendly and one of them put gold leaf on our forehead while we were visiting the workshop. I guess it means good luck!"
