#YSDAF2018
Arts & Craft Bazaar

Everybody knows that one of the best things about attending an arts festival are the goodies that you’ll get to purchase before heading home! Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival (YSDAF) 2018 will be no different. If you’re looking to pick up some arts and craft items during our Festival, here are some booths you can visit over at the Main Lawn, klpac from 11AM to 8PM:

#1

Happy Dumpy

Happy Dumpy puts a fun and modern twist into a collection of delightful handcrafted designs offering handmade backpacks, handbags, sling bags, purses, toy plushies, cushions, pillows, pouches, artisanal soaps, lip balms, and more. 

 

 

If you stop by this stall, say hi to Jeslyn Ooi Shiyun, founder of Happy Dumpy. She runs the company as a one-(wo)man-show, serving also as artist, designer, and illustrator.

 


#2

Art Beyond the Canvas

Janet Lee set up this business in 2011 to become more financially independent after experiences of unpredictable seizures coupled with learning and developmental challenges prevented her from thriving in a traditional workplace. Don’t miss out on her artwork, home-baked cookies, souvenirs items, and fashionwear with accessories. 

 

 

Janet donates 10% of all her sales to a children’s home for the abused, under-privileged and/or orphaned children- so your purchases will contribute to help these causes too!

 


#3

INTI Center of Art and Design (ICAD) Booths

Apart from their indoor and outdoor arts installations titled Deria and Rasa, ICAD students will host four booths that will be selling a myriad of items ranging from handmade purses, soap dispensers, clocks, notebooks, and more.

 


#4

Mr. Vegetabird

If directly translated from the Chinese language, “Mr. Vegetabird” means “newbie”. This designer brings a distinctive positive spirit and energy to his works.

 

 

Come and snatch up badges, calendars, washi tapes, stickers, and more to add happy vibes to your daily-use items.

 


#5

Persatuan SLE Malaysia

Persatuan SLE Malaysia (PSLEM) is Malaysia’s national support group for people living with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
