KARYANEKA , established in 1982, is a handicraft centre supported by the
Malaysian government. Here you can find handicraft and souvenirs produced by
Malaysia's very own craftsmen and small industry. Located at Jalan Conlay (Conlay
street) it is about a 10 minute walk for the Golden Triangle.
KARYANEKA has a wide selection of handicraft items reflecting Malaysia's ethnic
and cultural heritage. The center sells Malaysian handicraft including batik, rattan
baskets, blowpipes, woodcarvings and silver craft items. There is also a Craft
Museum within the compound and individual craft huts where you can watch
craftsmen at work. These craft huts are set in a working environment to replicate
the original atmosphere of these craftsmen in the villages, including the tools they
use for their creative art work. The effect is to recreate the original atmosphere and
setting to give visitors the total experience, be it of songket weaving, brass work,
woodcarving, traditional blacksmith, batik painting or pottery making. Visitors can
also try their hand at basket weaving and batik painting.
If you haven't had the opportunity to witness any Malaysian handicrafts or shop for some Malaysia batik, make a stop at Karyaneka. Don't forget to check out the garden area!
