GIGIPAYNE Studio

In late May and again today, I joined four inspiring workshops with Gigi: Katazome, stamp printing, eco printing, and batik with tjanting. Each session introduced me to beautiful textile techniques in a way that felt approachable, engaging, and enjoyable. Gigi created an atmosphere where learning happened naturally, with plenty of space for conversation, creativity, and ideas exchange. The workshops were also adapted to my interests and textile background, as a quilter. Gigi shares her knowledge with such generosity, patience, and genuine passion. I was touched by her use of handwoven materials that support local farming communities. It’s wonderful to see these traditional practices being preserved and celebrated through her work. As part of my unforgettable trip to Thailand, the workshops took place in comfortable air-conditioned classrooms, adding to the overall experience. The studio is conveniently located and is also a wonderful store of many of Gigi’s art creations. Walking into her studio felt like discovering a new part of Thailand.I truly enjoyed every moment and would gladly come back again, and highly recommend learning something new with Gigi . Thanks Gigi, see you soon!✈️🤞🏼

A fantastic workshop led by a very friendly, talented, knowledgeable tutor. Three hours of great learning and a pleasing outcome.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What can I say about Gigi? She is absolutely fantastic, with such a warm and welcoming heart 🧵💛 I went from knowing nothing about sewing to confidently making men’s shirts, all thanks to her patient and thoughtful teaching. Gigi is calm, kind, and walks you through every step with such care. If I make a mistake, it’s never a problem—we simply undo it and try again, which makes learning feel relaxed and enjoyable ✂️ I would wholeheartedly recommend Gigi to anyone who wants to learn to sew. Beyond sewing, she also offers a wonderful range of arts and crafts lessons, making every session creative and inspiring 🎨✨ What started as a student–teacher relationship has truly grown into a friendship, and that’s something I will cherish forever 💕 Thank you, Gigi—you’re amazing! 🌟
