Where can I learn to make clay flowers in bangkok?

As far as I know, Thailand is famous at clay flowers, and I wonder if there is any class or club that teach making clay flowers in Bangkok. And I want to buy a simple pasta machine to work with polymer clay but I don’t know where to find it in huge Bangkok any help??!!

I don’t know if you’re wanting to make the flowers with polymer clay, or cornstarch+glue air-dry clay (“cold porcelain”) or some other kind of air-dry clay like Luna, etc.
There probably are classes for some of those materials in Bangkok… perhaps check out some of these:

http://www.google.com/search?q=Bangkok+classes+clay+flowers

http://polymerclaydaily.com/2009/01/16/thai-flower-arts (or ask one of these people)

http://www.google.com/search?q=Bangkok+classes+clay

You can also check out the pages at my (polymer clay) site that deal with “sculpting” and making flowers since a lot of the info would be generalizable to other clays as well as polymer clay, esp this page:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/sculpture.htm (click on the category “Flowers & Leaves”)

As for pasta machines, in the U.S. we buy them at kitchen stores and other stores (general stores and perhaps the pasta machine sold by Amaco in craft stores), in thrift shops (where old items are resold), and online mostly. Sometimes we’re lucky enough to get a good but older Italian-made pasta machine from a relative!
You might want to check out this page at my site too for all kinds of info about buying and using pasta machines with polymer clay:
