Our Crafting Community & Vision: Passion for Handcrafted Excellence
Founded with a deep love for artistry and the rich tapestry of craftsmanship found across Malaysia and Southeast Asia, Sentuhan Seni, meaning 'Touch of Art', was established right here in the vibrant heart of Kuala Lumpur. Our journey began years ago with a simple idea: to create a space where the beauty and soul of handmade items could be celebrated and shared. We are more than just a store or a workshop; we are a thriving community connecting skilled artisans, passionate creators, and individuals who appreciate the unique story woven into every handcrafted piece.
Our mission is twofold: to provide a welcoming, inspiring environment for everyone, whether they are looking to find the perfect, one-of-a-kind gift or to unleash their own inner artist through learning new techniques. We are committed to supporting local artisans, ensuring their traditional skills are preserved and their modern interpretations find a wider audience. Every item in our curated collection is selected not just for its beauty, but for its quality, authenticity, and the dedication poured into its creation.
Beyond our retail space and online gallery, our workshops are at the core of the Sentuhan Seni experience. We believe that creating with your hands is a deeply rewarding and therapeutic activity. Our experienced facilitators guide participants through various crafts, from batik painting and pottery to jewelry making and paper art, fostering a supportive atmosphere for learning and creativity. We witness daily the joy and pride on participants' faces as they complete their projects, a testament to the transformative power of art.
Based in the bustling city center of Kuala Lumpur, we draw inspiration from the fusion of cultures and the dynamic energy surrounding us. Our location on Jalan Sultan Ismail makes us easily accessible, a creative oasis amidst the urban landscape. We envision Sentuhan Seni as a beacon for craftsmanship, fostering a community that values skill, creativity, and the personal connection that only handmade objects can bring. We invite you to visit us, explore our offerings, and become part of our growing family of artists and art lovers.
