Modern Craft for the New Generation in Selangor

In building Selangor as the state of craft center, we; the media was educated with few types of craft during our Kembara Kraf Selangor. With the little knowledge I had earlier, I learnt that one should not only limit herself to what traditional available, always be pro-active and curious, learning new craft and venture to new frontier. And I did just that, embracing to new arts and craft, starting with traditional craft earlier (read more HERE), and now, paving to the Modern Craft area.
