Itinerary
**Rattan Basketry Weaving (2 hours)**
In remote areas of Sarawak, people use the rainforests to make mats, baskets, and bags that are made from rattan vines. Discover how to weave baskets using rattan that is hand-harvested from Sarawak's highlands rainforests. As you create your own hand-plaited mini-rattan artwork, you will receive guidance from a real craft artisan.
**Mini Loom Beading (2 hours)**
Beading became a popular craft as beads were traded. Numerous ethnic groups in Sarawak make exquisite beaded headpieces, jewellery, and costumes. Use the beading loom to learn how to bead. A skilled craftsperson will assist you in creating your own beaded Sarawakian memento.
