Date: 9th March 2011 (Wednesday)
Time: 7pm
Venue: Straits Quay, Tanjung Tokong
This is Straits Quay’s must-visit destination because the rich history and tradition of pewter of Royal Selangor is entwined with the history of modern Malaya (pre-Independence Malaysia).
Designed with interactive exhibits, the Centre takes you back to 1885 when Royal Selangor was founded by Yong Koon, a pewtersmith from Shantou, China.
Among the highlights of the Visitor Centre are pewter crafting demo and the School of Hard Knocks workshop where participants learn how to make their own pewter ware, using traditional tools similar to those used by early pewtersmiths. They get to keep the crafted item and will also be awarded a certificate for their masterpiece.
