Orange rattan basket
Sleepy snake rattan basket
Multiple blossoms rattan basket
Blue whale rattan basket
Last May, I visited Institut Kraf Negara that situated at Rawang
I was so lucky to have my talented blogger friend Rizal with me the whole session, he is the senior lecturer in IKN. It's a guided tour together with him and he introduced all the art departments here in details. Among there are art departments for batik, wood craft, rattan and ceramic. But I have a particular interest in rattan art as I have never witness such innovative creations by our local craft students before. Each piece is excellently designed & executed. I especially have an eye for the yellow bloom rattan basket. shown above.
My whole journey was throned with lots of excitement & surprises, I was given some beautiful souvenirs to bring home. Indeed, it's a satisfying visit and I am hoping to make another visit again!

This is so Khhooool, Yoon See...Love each piece, it's so unique...I haven't seen much of it either. I have seen few rattan things of completely different nature in India. The yellow bloom one did get my attention. Swan one and whale one is also really good... fab work by the artists... and fab work by you for sharing this with us. One doesn't across such beautiful things very often.
Good Day Sis':)
