A trip to Pusat Kraftangan Malaysia.

We were so close...of missing the chance to go to the Pusat Kraftangan...I personally did not regret going to this humble yet cultural place...The knowledge gained from this short trip was far more than I had expected...

We were first urshered to a little garden where artists can just come anytime of the day to express themselves through art and display them in small 'pondok's all over the garden...The peaceful and relaxing area had attracted a few artists and we were there to observe their every move...The artworks displayed in the 'pondok's were mostly full of colours and portrayed surrealism...I was captured by the detailing of the artwork and it made me wonder how long did the artist took to finish it...

We then proceeded to the fabric part of the Pusat Kraftangan. Our guide showed us how to use a 'kek tenunan' and the end product, which is a 'songket'...It refreshed my memory as I had come across it during my SPM year...Later, we were allowed to see different fashion styles made from 'batik' and also 'songket'...

Our visit continued as we visit the muzium where there were displays of antique 'congkak' as well as 'keris' and pottery...The 'labu sayong', which originated from Perak can keep the water stored inside of it cool!!...and the 'keris' which was displayed has so much aesthetical value to it...

By the end of our trip, we were each given a small bag as souveniers...
