DEAR Visitors Artisans d'Angkor is an absolute gem for anyone visiting Siem Reap and looking to delve deeper into Cambodian craftsmanship. This place offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness the intricate process of creating traditional Khmer statues and other exquisite handicrafts. The guided tour is both educational and inspiring, taking visitors through workshops where local artisans work with wood, stone, silk, and other materials. Watching the artists transform raw materials into stunning statues and sculptures gives you a true appreciation of their dedication, talent, and the cultural significance behind their work. The staff are mostly WOMEN incredibly knowledgeable and eager to share insights about the techniques, traditions, and stories behind each piece. This makes Artisans d'Angkor not just a shopping destination but a cultural experience. Their commitment to preserving and promoting Cambodian heritage is commendable, and their products make meaningful and high-quality souvenirs. Whether you're an art lover, a history enthusiast, or simply curious about Khmer culture, Artisans d’Angkor is a must-visit.

Our tour guide Jackie took us to this workshop-cum-store in a quiet part of Siem Reap. As we went early we skipped the time that it could be crowded. They have a workshop to demonstrate how handcrafts are made. They help young people learn Cambodian crafts and thereafter make them for sale. They have a whole range of products made from stone, silk, wood, ceramic and more. They also carry personal care products apart from garments and home furnishings. Even to just see the products it is worth a visit to their Store. The product design is very good and so too the quality. Displays are all done tastefully. That said, the price is higher than at Old Market area where the merchandise's province could be unknown. Some products are discounted for stock clearance. Staff are at hand to explain and help customers. All in all a good place to shop at Siem Reap away from crowds, heat and dust of Open Air markets.

Artisans Angkor, a tapestry of skill, Where ancient arts come alive, a creative thrill. Hands that weave wonders, crafting beauty untold, Preserving traditions, stories to unfold. In the heart of Cambodia's cultural domain, Artisans Angkor, a vibrant artistic terrain. Carvers, sculptors, weavers, their talents unite, Breathing life into masterpieces, shining bright. Each stroke of the brush, each chisel's caress, Transforms raw materials into exquisite finesse. Silk threads intertwine, colors bloom with grace, In the hands of artisans, art finds its rightful place. From stone to silver, wood to silk, Craftsmanship cherished, like liquid silk. Their dedication, a testament to art's embrace, Honoring heritage, weaving a timeless space. Artisans Angkor, a sanctuary sublime, Where craftsmanship and culture eternally chime. In each creation, a piece of history is told, A legacy of beauty, a story to unfold.

This has workshops place.and a clean and nice statutes and idols are made and are put up for show and are for sell. There are dresses,accessories, kitchen items,pillows,bedroom accessories, and many more. Good thing is this has lots of items and is very attractive but the sad thing is it is really expensive and not affordable at all. This place is situated in a nice place and is a tourist place and is surrounded by greenery. There is a restaurant at the exit. This place is divided into 3 parts there is a long pathway which will lead to inside stuffs. We get everything there,from a wall painting till a small keychain and chopsticks. The staff has an uniform and are cooperative. There workshops are conducted where they teach how to prepare or make the idols or many handicrafts. On the whole good place to window shop,because of high cost.

Worth a visit! This group has created employment for lots of folks from the rural areas around Siem Reap, and COVID seems to have hit them hard. The money goes towards the local economy, so while, yes, the prices are high, you're contributing to folks learning a new skill, being employed, and the economy. I enjoyed seeing the process they do to make the pieces. It's very eye opening on how long it takes to make the items. There's a decent amount for sale below $10 if you just want a small token, and plenty for a lot more if you're looking for something that took a lot more hours to make. Especially after seeing how long it takes to carve one of the statues, it makes sense why it costs so much. Some reviews commented on being pressured to buy or tip. I didn't experience that.

Once you finish your free and guided tour through the Silk Farm of Artisans Angkor, you will walk away with an understanding and appreciation of silk and silk products! It was a wonderful experience to satisfy the curiosity inside of you. Our tour guide was great, thoughtful of our route and very knowledgeable about every piece of this simple, yet complex process! The social and economic impact that Artisans Angkor is having on the community is something to be proud of. You get to witness the factory in full operation as you move through your tour. You end at their showroom where you can purchase these handmade products (no pressure), and be prepared to be faced with many wonderful options! Definitely a must do while in Siem Riep.
