Kelingkan

Kelingkan is a delicate traditional Malay embroidery technique that uses fine metallic threads to create shimmering floral and geometric motifs, often on shawls or veils worn during weddings and special occasions. With roots in Melaka and Penang, Kelingkan reflects the finesse and grace of Malay craftsmanship. As part of its mission to preserve Malaysia’s intangible cultural heritage, Yayasan Hasanah is working with artisans and cultural groups to revive this fading art form. Join our workshop to learn the intricate technique of Kelingkan and be part of preserving a piece of our cultural legacy!
