Review Body: 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.

Review Body: 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.

Review Body: Ms. Umang provided an excellent tour and explanation of the weaving techniques used by the artisans. I was captivated by their culture and would love to visit again if I return to Kuching, Sarawak with my friends to show a glimpse of Sarawakians culture 🤗

Review Body: 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.

If you want to understand Borneo culture, start with weaving
If you really want to understand indigenous culture in Borneo, it starts with weaving.Before colonial times, life happened on a mat — this is where families gathered, meals were shared, and decisions were made. Weaving isn’t just craft here, it’s part of daily life, and it carries these stories and traditions.In this 2-hour session, you’ll learn basketry or songket directly from indigenous weavers, many from rural villages. You’ll first see them at work, then try it yourself. These skills are slowly disappearing as younger generations move on. By being here, you’re helping to support the artisans keeping this tradition alive — because when weaving is lost, so are the stories and culture it holds. This is a small experience, but an important one. It will give you a deeper understanding of Borneo than most tours.What to ExpectLearn directly from indigenous weaversChoose basketry or songket weavingCreate your own small pieceSee how weaving is done traditionallySmall, hands-on and easy to followGood to KnowYou can reach the craft house easily by Grab from Kuching cityNo prior experience is required—the weavers guide you step by stepChoose only one workshop per session: basketry or songket weavingAll materials are provided, and you take your mini creation homeYour participation directly supports rural women and helps sustain traditional crafts

Lerne deinen Gastgeber kennen

Tanoti House ist ein in Sarawak ansässiges Handwerksatelier, das Tradition, Gemeinschaft und Sinn zusammenbringt. Das Team arbeitet eng mit über 600 Kunsthandwerkerinnen und Kunsthandwerkern zusammen – viele von ihnen indigene Frauen – in Dörfern in Sarawak und Sabah und hilft dabei, traditionelles Weben und Perlenhandwerk lebendig zu halten. Tanoti stellt nicht nur schöne handgefertigte Stücke her, sondern bietet auch Workshops an, organisiert kulturelle Veranstaltungen und leistet praktische Unterstützung, etwa humanitäre Hilfe und das Nähen von Masken in schwierigen Zeiten. Jacquelines Ansatz ist nah dran und durchdacht, mit dem Fokus immer auf den Menschen hinter dem Handwerk. Mit Tanoti hat sie einen Ort geschaffen, an dem traditionelle Fertigkeiten geschätzt und Gemeinschaften ehrlich unterstützt werden.
