The School

Our Thangka Painting School is 20 years old and our community of artists and artisans live in the ancient temple village of Changu Narayan, near Bhaktapur, Nepal. Our village is well known because of its artistic, religious and historical significance since the 3rd century AD and it is listed as UNESCO world heritage site.

The main goal of our art school is to offer the space and creative environment where students can learn, help the artists and artisans to support their families and consequently toWe have more than 30 students and experienced artists and several masters that collaborate with us.Most of our families are farmers living in remote areas of Nepal with little income. The houses of our relatives were damaged or destroyed as our thangka workshop during the earthquakes of 2015 and since then we are recovering.We almost completed the new space for the artists and we must thank all the people that ordered artworks on our website during these difficult years.A generous part of the profit coming from this website is used to support the students, contribute to help our community and sponsoring volunteering projects in Changunarayan.
