This research focuses on the research and development of creative learning activities and the ìLai Khamî technique in the Hot District of Chiang Mai Province.The results of the research are as follows:

1. Creative learning activities in art education and the technique of carving patterns with a gold leaf called ìLai Khamî are explored. The ìLai Khamî technique, also known as ìPainting Lai Khamî or ìLai Thong,î involves the
application of lacquer and gilded patterns on a vermilion ground. In the past, there were four techniques: stencil technique, scraping technique, a mixed
technique combining gilded cinnabar gilding and scraping, and a technique called ìLai Rod Nam.î

2. An activity involving carving words in art education for young people and the public has been further developed and is known as ìLai Kham Nam Taem.î This new approach utilizes gold leaf, acrylic paint, and modified
materials to create innovative works. Clear plastic sheets are used to facilitate the creation of the Kham Lanna pattern.

3. The development of learning networks in art education in
Chiang Mai involves the establishment of networks within educational institutions and the expansion of networks beyond educational institutions. The aim is to
promote arts education among youth and engage the community in art education.
