Perak's Labu Sayong clay, in the hands of everyone it was always for.
WIBAWA LEGACY makes ready-to-paint ceramic sets, runs guided workshops for teams and schools, and builds heritage programming with government and community partners — carrying a Sayong pottery tradition into homes, offices and classrooms rather than leaving it in a museum case.
- Since 2022
- Registered Malaysian heritage-craft business
- 19 programmes
- With named partner organisations
- 3 stockists
- Across Perak, plus our Ipoh space
- 10 classes
- For teams, schools and communities
Two sides of one practice: pieces you take home, and programmes we build with you.
Ruang Karya is our retail and programming arm. On one side, ceramic painting sets from RM25 — sold through our Shopee and TikTok storefronts and three stockists across Perak. On the other, two-hour guided sessions and multi-day cultural programmes run with agencies like Wanita Perak, PAWE and PERSERA.
Same clay, same people, two different reasons to get in touch.
Read our storyWhat we make, and what we run.
One set: a bisque-fired piece, paint, a brush, and instructions.
What's in a set
Unpainted pieces, brushes and finished examples, laid out at our booth
Painting it
Brush, paint and a steady hand — a guided session at the Malaysia Sihat roadshow, Bagan Datuk
What you end up with
Finished pieces, painted by hand from our sets
Sets are priced RM25–RM35 and sold through our Shopee and TikTok storefronts, or in person at our three Perak stockists. Shipping is RM5 flat in Peninsular Malaysia and RM7 to Sabah & Sarawak, about five working days. Bulk orders for offices, schools and events are handled directly — just ask.
We started in 2022 because a tradition this good shouldn't only exist behind glass.
WIBAWA LEGACY began with a simple belief: Perak's Labu Sayong pottery tradition deserved a place in modern Malaysian life — not just in museums, but in homes, offices and classrooms. What began as a small effort to keep that craft visible has grown into Ruang Karya, our retail and programming arm, now reaching individuals and organisations across the country.
We are a small, named team — two co-founders and two advisors — and you will speak to one of us directly, whether you are ordering a single set or planning a five-day programme.
That team also runs a second arm. Kedai Web WL designs and builds websites for local businesses in Meru and Ipoh, at RM900 for three pages — separate work, same company, run by Uzayr.

Who is this for?
Nineteen programmes, documented as they happened.
Not staged photography — these are the actual sessions, booths and demonstrations we have run with partners across Perak.
Brainwave Festival Perak 2026
SK Seri Aman, Pokok Asam, Taiping
Ruang Karya was a vendor at the Brainwave Festival, a national-level innovation festival hosted by SK Seri Aman. The day was built around innovation and creative AI poster competitions, with VR gaming and robot battles running alongside. Our booth held a table of Labu Sayong and ceramic work beside a painting table, where children coloured their own tiles and figurines and carried them home the same day.
Program "Malaysia, Jom Check!": Karnival Kesihatan Komuniti
Dewan Komuniti Taman Cempaka, with Klinik Cempaka
Ruang Karya was invited to take part as a vendor at this community health carnival run by Klinik Cempaka alongside the PeKa B40 health screenings — a booth of Labu Sayong work, painted ceramic pieces and craft sets set up beside the screening stations, open to anyone who came through for a check-up.
Kunjungan Hormat Delegasi UKM & RCUS Jakarta
Halaman Suri Sejahtera, hosted by Sekretariat Pembangunan Wanita dan Masyarakat Perak
A delegation from Rujak Center for Urban Studies (RCUS) Jakarta and LESTARI, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, visited Halaman Suri Sejahtera for a day of shared learning on age-friendly ageing — community-based care models, the programmes and services built around senior citizens, and what active, healthy and inclusive ageing looks like in practice. WIBAWA LEGACY ran three of the day’s sessions: a Japanese language class, music therapy, and caricature.
Program Bersama Warga Emas di Halaman Suri Sejahtera
We were honoured to be invited as one of the main implementer's strategic partners for the programme and activities at Halaman Suri Sejahtera — bringing hands-on batik, ceramic painting, and doodle art sessions to participants as part of the launch celebration.
School trip with ZingArt Space
Time Tunnel, Ipoh Old Town — organised with ZingArt Space
A school group spent the day with us at Time Tunnel, organised together with ZingArt Space — hands-on clay work alongside pottery painting, with every participant leaving holding a piece they had finished themselves.
Demo Pembuatan Seramik bersama Abang Izzue
Time Tunnel Ipoh Old Town
Ruang Karya hosted a live pottery-making demonstration at Time Tunnel Ipoh Old Town, during our six-month pop-up there, giving visitors a close-up look at the wheel-throwing process behind our ceramic work.
See the work in person.
Four partner locations across Perak carry our sets, and Ruang Karya in Ipoh is open for classes and collections.
Where to find the sets.
Drop in, pick a piece up, and decide with it in your hands. Workshops, bulk orders and partnership enquiries are handled by our team directly, not through these retail points.
