ARTISANRY Co.

I was so excited to be asked to join the Artisanry Co community. They have been very helpful with the setting up of my shop and I have enjoyed learning about the work created by other members of the community in the live chats.

Making is one thing, but then, there are the details, and all of it has a high price, new equipment, branding, labels, packaging, so how is it possible that I can get to a platform that will propel me, to borrow a phrase from the Olympics, "Further, higher and faster"?

Artisanry is a very exciting project. To me it is a portal, a supporting tool, a window to get out there, a melting pot of exchange and creativity. I feel I can express my creativity in many different ways, creating my artworks and experimenting with my preferred media: Batik. However my batik paintings need to be seen! And I want to be inspired by other artists and artisans too, and all sort of creative people. Artisanry can provide me with all that, and generate, ignite imagination for me and a wide audience of creative people.
