Welcome to Wamp.co, a cosy inviting space where Pimnara Sintaveevonge brings craft, creativity and community together.
Chosen for her work in building a community rooted in creativity, Pimnara Sintaveevonge is redefining what it means to make space for others. As co-founder of Wamp Co., located at Tha Phra, she’s reimagining a future where craft, connection and curiosity are at the core of everyday life.
In a city where life moves fast, finding a place to pause, create and connect can feel rare. That’s the vision behind a workshop space designed to bring people together to experience crafting and to share ideas and conversations with others. Here creativity is less about perfect outcomes and more about the joy of experimenting, collaborating and simply being yourself.
We sat down with Pimnara to learn more about what drives her. She spoke about her passion for design, her belief in the power of shared creativity, and how the space has grown into more than workshops. It has become a welcoming platform where people find inspiration in one another and the freedom to be themselves.
A Space Where Makers and Ideas Come to Life
“Exploration, openness and trying new things; that’s the concept behind this studio,”
Pimnara explains.
Pimnara grew up surrounded by crafting. Her family ran a leather business, making everything from book covers to handmade goods. Her father loved to draw and as that creative streak rubbed off on her, she gravitated towards art classes at school and spent her free time on little handmade projects. By the time she reached her final years of secondary school, she was already stitching and embroidering, a love of hands-on craft that naturally led her to pursue design at the School of Architecture and Design, King Mongkut’s University of Technology.
“One of the courses I studied was service design, which showed me that design isn’t only about objects but about creating whole experiences. That sparked the idea of thinking beyond small craft items and imagining something bigger, like a space. The way we learned encouraged constant experimentation, and I also gained a deeper understanding of materials, which broadened my perspective and inspired me to bring a more relaxed, accessible kind of creativity into people’s lives.”
Wamp Co. began as a gathering of friends who wanted to create a working studio, but it naturally evolved into a space hosting a variety of workshops for others. Valuing craftsmanship, they wanted to give people a chance to shine in their own way. It began with open calls for makers or individuals eager to teach, share their skills, or simply showcase their art and products. The space has evolved from there.
“We see ourselves as facilitators, helping to promote their workshops, their brand, or their art. Since we come from a design background, we use our graphic skills to support them. We also discuss upcoming trends that might help their work connect more closely with the people who join the sessions.”
Each class lasts around three hours and can range from jewellery making and candle crafting to flower arranging, crocheting and more.
“One of the classes is jewellery making led by an artist who originally wanted to run a session making terrazzo products. After some discussion we realised that terrazzo wasn’t particularly in demand at the time, while clients were increasingly interested in jewellery. Fortunately, the artist also knew how to make jewellery, so the workshop evolved and adapted accordingly.”
A Cosy Community for All
Pimnara notes that Wamp Co. also serves as a gathering place for lighter activities. One example is Kon Wang (loosely translated as “the unoccupied”), a talk group where people openly discuss a wide range of topics, from taxes for freelancers to everyday life. The space also hosts a book test club, inviting people to read books they might never have picked up on their own — a chance to explore new genres and share reflections with others.
“We love how people can discover what they really enjoy,”
Pimnara says.
“By reading a book with us, they might realise it’s not their style, or if they do like it then they’ve just discovered something new.”
One of their favourite projects is the game club, where people gather to play board games together. It has become a space for communication, a way to share experiences and build connections.
“I find it memorable every time, whether it’s new visitors or familiar faces joining in,” Pimnara says. “This is one of the few projects that’s entirely our own, not a collaboration with makers. I remember someone who came to play board games with us for several days. They told me that they’d been feeling very depressed but coming here, talking with others and playing games helped them feel a little better day by day.”
Taking Creativity Beyond the Studio
As of now Wamp Co. has expanded its vision beyond their own studio, hosting workshops in other locations as well. Pimnara explains that companies often invite them to run sessions for their clients or employees.
“I remember hosting a workshop called Twist and Twine, where participants used leftover fabric to braid cords. It was amazing to see how engaging and fun it was, and that people of all ages could join in. Taking Wamp Co. beyond our own space has opened up so many new experiences for us,”
she says.
Wamp Co. also aims to promote a sustainable lifestyle through upcycling and recycling, carefully selecting makers and artists who share this ethos. The hope is to inspire participants to explore creativity while thinking consciously about the environment.
