Made in Cambodia Market

Oum Khun St, Krong Siem Reap

Small handicraft market where local vendors sell only Cambodian-made scarves, jewelry, ceramics and carvings.

This guide to Made in Cambodia Market in Siem Reap starts with a spent brass cartridge, dug out of a rice paddy after the fighting ended, and follows it into a stall run by Ammo, a jewelry workshop founded in 2014 by British jeweler Madeline Green. It traces how young Cambodian apprentices, some disadvantaged or living with disabilities, train for months in soldering and design, and meets a deaf teenager named Saneth selling lacquered bowls a few stalls over. Along the way, villagers had already been hammering scrap brass and steel into hoes, plowshares and cooking pots.
