PRESERVING HERITAGE CRAFTSMANSHIP
The techniques and skills involved in creating these art pieces have been developed over many generations by the artisans and their families, using locally sourced materials and unique processes. Earth Heir® works collaboratively with our artisan partners to preserve this craftsmanship for the future.
By combining traditional artisanal skills with contemporary design and product training for artisans, Earth Heir® is a true celebration of Malaysia’s varied heritage art forms and unique cultural narratives.
DESIGN LED
It is imperative that all our products are design led. Appropriate design is key to help access markets and create income streams. For every artisan group that we work with, we train the artisans on design & quality, pricing, production processes, to raise the skills of the artisans and the value of artisanal, heritage pieces.
SUPPORTING REFUGEE ARTISANS
Earth Heir® has partnered with the United Nations Refugee Agency via the MADE51 initiative to support displaced refugee artisans in Malaysia and provide dignity and income opportunities with their unique talents.
