You can visit the workshop and see the team of weavers in action. There is also a shop which sells Tanoti products, from handwoven silk scarves to rattan hairbands. A modern take on a traditional craft.

Now I understand why a piece of traditional hand-weaved silk can cost as much as RM80k. The deaign has to be weaved into the fabric thread by thread, all by hand without any electrical powered machinery. And it can takes a master weaver more than a year to complete. Weaving is beyond creating something practical, it's an artform and also a living artifact that speaks of our rich culture.

Amazing!! It is really helpful and give information by open the website and pages to tell everyone what they do contribute with all the handicraft. They do offer the class to those interest to learn the handicraft making process. Tanoti House do sale the handicraft beside joint the world competition for creative designer to show their talents to the world. Tanoti House also used their place to display all the handicraft and give study / advice to the public. Very useful to those in research of the heritage by talents or any what's being did or do in the pass or in present time. But business is still a business, not only gains the profit but the acknowledge to us and everybody who loved the heritage and the creative designer as a platform to help themselves and everybody.

This was a wonderful morning in Kuching. Kelvin, our guide, was very friendly and helpful and explained everything. We first walked around the old centre stopping in many places to try lots of traditional foods. Seriously there will be so much to eat on this tour, make sure you come with a good appetite! After we'd toured the centre (with Kelving pointing out and explaining the sites as well as recommending the best food) we went back to the office to pick up the bikes, and then cycled off over the river into proper kampung areas. This was a side of Kuching I would never have seen without this tour. It was very scenic and interesting. We also stopped at the weekend market (yet more food!) before heading back. All in all an amazing morning and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Kuching.
