Experience the rich artistry of Malay traditional wood carving by creating your own keychain featuring the Daun Gelugor.

This tree’s tart fruit is a popular ingredient in Malaysian cuisine, adding depth of flavour to many dishes, while its leaves symbolize renewal, healing, unity, and a deep connection to nature.

During the workshop, you’ll learn to use traditional carving tools and discover the essential techniques of Malay traditional wood carving. At the end of the workshop, you’ll bring home your own handcrafted keychain which serve as a meaningful souvenir of your Penang experience.

Founded in 2020, bySze began as a personal escape — a way to slow down and rediscover the joy of creating. What started as a quiet hobby soon turned into a heartfelt passion for polymer clay, a wonderfully playful and versatile medium that offers endless creative possibilities. There’s something truly magical about shaping colours with your hands and turning them into meaningful little pieces.

Inspired by the vibrant colours of batik prints and the intricate beauty of Peranakan tile motifs. More than just accessories, bySze invites you to pause, get inspired, and carry a small piece of Penang’s heritage and heart with you — wherever you go.
