![]() Edric is President of the Atelier Society in Kuching, an organization formed to promote the traditional arts and handicrafts of Borneo. He is also the Convenor of the Bienniel World Eco-Fiber and Textile (WEFT) Forum since 1999, devoted to researching, sustaining, and promoting traditional crafts of the villages of Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Also, the Hon. Secretary of the World Batik Council and is consultant to UNESCO in its Award of Excellence for Handicrafts program. We feature two types of textiles. The pua kumbu are woven in longhouses along the rivers of Sarawak. The modern fashion textiles are designed by Edric based on Sarawakian tribal motifs and made using traditional materials, dyes, and production methods. Mr. Ong has shops in Kuching and Kuala Lumpur and travels extensively with native weavers to show these textiles. It is well worth a visit to his web site through our Links page. The prices offered for Edric's textiles are the same as you would find in Kuching, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.. Watch Edric's textiles as showcased at the WEFT Gala Fashion Show in 2008 and 2012 and in Hyderabad in 2014 |
