Let's go to this Borneo International Bead Conference
(bunchar.com รอยลูกปัด/เพื่อแผ่นดินเกิด 20170501_2)
เมื่อกลางปีก่อน ผมถูกเมล์มาจาก Crafthub นี้
ว่าชวนไปร่วมเวทีนี้ ๑๓ - ๑๕ ตุลา ปีนี้
โดยผมตอบรับว่าจะมาเสนอเรื่อง
"ลูกปัดไทย ที่ชุมทางของเส้นทางสายไหมทะเล"
หรือ
"Beads of Thailand at the Crossroad of Ancient Maritime Trade"
ซึ่งกว้างและท้าทายไม่น้อย
ตอนนี้ยกร่างเรื่องและกำลังจะส่งต้นฉบับให้เขาแล้วครับ
ใครสนใจบ้างไหมครับ ?
เขาจัดเป็นงานใหญ่มากเชิงวิชาการและพัฒนาในระดับโลก
มีการแสดง สาธิต กิจกรรมต่าง ๆ
รวมทั้งตลาดการค้าลูกปัดที่น่าจะตื่นตา
มิได้เป็นการค้าโบราณวัตถุแต่อย่างใด
เฉพาะวิทยากรที่เขาเชิญมา (ยกเว้นผม)
ก็บอกได้เลยว่า ไม่ธรรมดา
กะว่า หากมีคนไปกันด้วย
ก่อนหรือหลังงาน ๓ - ๔ วัน
อาจบุกตะลุยดงคนถิ่นที่บ้าลูกปัดในบอร์เนียวกันดู
หรือว่าท่านใดสนใจไปกันเอง ก็ลงทะเบียนไปได้เลยนะครับ

” Our Universal Beads”
Location: Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo
Date: Friday 13th – Sunday 15th October 2017
FIFTH BORNEO INTERNATIONAL BEAD CONFERENCE (BIBCo)
The bead culture of Sarawak, part of a greater Malaysian heritage, is rooted in centuries of tradition. An ancient maritime trading network linked Sarawak to the world; the beads most treasured today came from production centres on the Malay Peninsula, India, China and even further afield.
In the hands of Sarawak’s craftswomen and collectors, these masterpieces of the glassmaker’s art became intrinsically ‘Borneo Beads.’
The Borneo International Beads Conference links our indigenous tradition with the bead cultures of the world. The programme includes
Papers presented by leading bead researchers, printed in the BIBCo Journal 2017
Beads Abuzz,
the international Bead Bazar
Lamp Bead-making workshop
Polymer clay beadmaking workshop
Paper beadmaking workshop
Natural fibre beadmaking workshop
