The Arts Society Sandwich Lecture: Legend and Lustre: Jim Thompson and Thai Silk
- Cattle market Sandwich Kent CT13 9AH
Arts Society accredited lecturer, Denise Heywood, presents this illustrated talk. Free to members of The Arts Society Sandwich and £7 cash on the door for visitors.
Jim Thompson arrived in Bangkok as a US army officer in 1945, fell in love with it and stayed. Captivated by the beauty of Thai silk, an ancient craft in decline, he resuscitated it and made it famous, creating costumes for films and embellishing his house, which today is a museum.
