About Us

Teja Studio

Embracing Malaysian Heritage through Contemporary Art & Crafts

Teja Studio was born from a story of beauty, courage, and cultural unity — inspired by Princess Tun Teja, whose marriage to the Sultan of Melaka symbolised the merging of diverse traditions into one shared legacy. Drawing from this spirit, Teja Studio is a celebration of Malaysia’s rich heritage, reimagined through the lens of contemporary art and design.

Rooted deeply in our cultural identity, we honour Malaysian traditions by weaving age-old techniques and indigenous motifs into modern, expressive creations. Whether it’s through our thoughtfully designed products or immersive hands-on workshops, we aim to preserve and share the essence of Malaysian craftsmanship in a way that speaks to both heart and heritage.

At Teja Studio, we believe that tradition and innovation can coexist harmoniously. Our creative approach embraces contemporary design while staying true to our roots experimenting with new forms, colours, and materials that breathe fresh life into traditional arts. Each piece crafted or taught in our studio carries the spirit of Malaysia’s cultural mosaic.

More than just an art space, Teja Studio is a hub for exploration and learning. Our engaging workshops invite participants of all ages to experience Malaysian crafts up close from Batik painting,Songket art, Resin art, Candle art and many more. Led by skilled artisans, these sessions are an invitation to connect, create, and celebrate through craft.

Education lies at the core of our mission. We are committed to providing high-quality teaching programs where participants gain hands-on experience while learning the stories and significance behind every technique. Through these encounters, we nurture creativity, appreciation, and cultural awareness.

We also believe in the power of collaboration and community. Teja Studio actively works with local artisans, designers, and creatives fostering a vibrant ecosystem where knowledge is exchanged, skills are shared, and new ideas are born. These partnerships allow us to offer diverse, enriching experiences that uplift both our participants and the wider arts community.
