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
- 15 programmes
- With named partner organisations
- 4 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 four 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 four 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?
Fifteen programmes, documented as they happened.
Not staged photography — these are the actual sessions, booths and demonstrations we have run with partners across Perak.
Program "Clay & Calm": Sesi Seramik Santai untuk Senior
Pusat Aktiviti Warga Emas UTC Perak (PAWE)
A five-day ceramic programme designed for senior citizens, held in partnership with PAWE UTC Perak. Participants worked with clay across multiple sessions, creating and finishing their own pieces in a relaxed, guided setting built around their pace and comfort.
Festival Komuniti Geopark Kinta & Kita
Gunung Lang, Ipoh
Set against Gunung Lang's limestone hills, Ruang Karya took part in this community geopark festival in partnership with Komuniti Gunung Lang, running a hands-on ceramic painting activity alongside a display of finished pottery pieces.
Festival Sastera dan Seni Kanak-Kanak
Perpustakaan Awam Seri Iskandar
Invited by Perpustakaan Awam Seri Iskandar as part of this children's literary and arts festival, Ruang Karya ran a hands-on ceramic painting booth — including a pottery wheel demonstration — giving young visitors a full craft experience alongside the day's literary programming.
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, one of our long-time stockist partners, giving visitors a close-up look at the wheel-throwing process behind our ceramic work.
Demonstrasi Pembuatan Seramik sempena Photography Workshop
Kellie's Castle, Batu Gajah, with Canon
Ruang Karya's pottery demonstration served as a live subject for a photography workshop held in collaboration with Canon, giving participants a hands-on subject to photograph against the backdrop of Kellie's Castle.
SBP Integrasi Gopeng Open Day
SBP Integrasi Gopeng
Ruang Karya / Persatuan Seni Seramik Perak (PERSERA) set up a hands-on ceramic painting booth for this school open day, giving students the chance to try their hand at painting their own ceramic pieces alongside a display of finished 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.
