Chiang Mai · Thailand
The studio is located in Nong Hoi, Chiang Mai — the same neighbourhood where Ding was born. Printing blocks, carved by hand from rubber and teak, line the shelves alongside bolts of raw cotton and silk.
Every piece — whether a print edition or a garment — begins with the same gesture: a blade pressed into a surface, releasing a line.
Materials & Process
Northern Thailand's creative capital. A city of temples, textiles, and craft traditions that run centuries deep — and the place where this work is made.

Born & based — Chiang Mai, Thailand
Apirom — known as Ding — is a painter, printmaker, and textile designer born and educated in Chiang Mai. His practice moves between the press and the cutting table with the same unhurried attention.
Woodcut and lino cut remain the foundation: blocks carved from teak and rubber, inked by hand, pressed onto handmade papers. The images draw on the visual language of Northern Thailand — temple gates, river light, the geometry of woven cloth.
The clothing line extends this language into wearable form. Garments are block-printed using the same carved surfaces, on cotton, linen, and silk sourced within the region. Each piece is made in small runs, by hand, in the Nong Hoi studio.
01 — Print
Hand-carved blocks. Editions of 3–15. Printed on Chiang Mai handmade paper and Japanese kozo.
