HANDICRAFT CENTRE
Slideshow image
Previous · Pause · Next · Play
"This handicraft centre is a branch of the Malaysian Handicraft Development Corporation mainly producing bamboo, rattan and glass based handicrafts."

This handicraft centre is a branch of the Malaysian Handicraft Development Corporation. From the eight branches nationwide, the one in Negeri Sembilan is the production centre for bamboo, rattan and glass-based handicrafts.

At this Craft Product Centre, the handicrafts are produced commercially. Sales and promotional activities range from direct selling from the showroom, to accepting custom-made orders to certain handicraft products and furniture, as well as participating in slaes exhibitions and trade expos.

Every care is taken to ensure a balance between the original heritage of the craft and the quality of the products to meet international standards. A Skill Training Programme was introduced by the corporation to produce  more skilled workers, artisans, craftsmen as well as qualified personnels for the futher growth and development of the local handicraft industry. An Apprentice Scheme is also currently in operation with the participation of producers in ten states.

The intricate and refined hand-made products seen at this handicraft centre is an artistic reflection of the philosophy and values of the local community. Go behind the  scenes and watch with fascination the transformation of rattan being weaved and twisted by skilled hands into beautiful gifts, souvenirs and furniture - chairs, tables, sofas, baskets, lampshades, walking sticks, trays and egg baskets all before your very eyes. The art of glass making will leave you in awe.

Witness long poles of glass being shaped creatively into shiny fragile-looking souvenir items like the kris, bullock cart, golf bag complete with clubs, bird swing and "wishing well".
