Started your Christmas card and crafts shopping yet? Snowland Art can help with that, plus you'll also be helping not one, but two good causes!

In 2010 a Canadian expat named Kristel Ouwehand – aka Tenzin Dolma – established the Tibetan Artists’ Development Company as a five-year arts and crafts training school devoted to maintaining the integrity of Thangka, a Buddhist art form.

According to the website, “The school only takes a small number of students, focusing on quality rather than quantity… Kristel and her students go through all the exam papers, and each student gives his/her view as to which two or three applicants they would choose to accept.”


Students pay only RMB 500 for the entire 5-year program. All other operating costs are supplemented through donations and the sale of student work via Snowland Art Studios.


What they produce in the studio are completely one-of-a-kind and sustainable art pieces that make wonderful gifts. Unique and customizable puzzles, ornaments, pillows, and water bottles are just a few of the items that support a great cause and will be treasured souvenirs for you to gift or use to decorate your own home.

This year, their famous and funny expat holiday cards are doing more than just giving us a laugh. A percentage of the sales from the cards will be donated to local animal shelters that have been hit hard over the past few years with relocations and building costs. They also do customized Christmas ornaments to add a charming rustic touch to your Christmas!


Simply scan the QR code in the posters to place your order that will make your friends' holidays a little brighter, while helping a furry friend find a warm place to sleep during the cold Beijing winters!
