Terris Nguyen Temple and Leslie Nguyen Temple - artists trained in Tibetan art-  present traditional and contemporary works in both painted and appliqué techniques.

Also offered here are films, iconographic resources and accounts of past and present projects. These include stories related to the unique collaboration between 1992-1997 with the talented team of mostly women sewers in Tibet. The White Conch Factory was one of the 1st sewing cooperative workshops established after 1959 in Lhasa. Their expertise included making large scale appliqué festival tents, temple hangings and designing and sewing traditional opera costumes. Unfortunately the factory was closed down in 2008.
