Under the guidance of our master artisan, participants are introduced to the enchanting world of beads, colors, and patterns. The process of selecting beads, arranging them into intricate designs, and sewing them onto fabric, some say is both meditative and rewarding. As the workshop progresses, participants witness their creations come to life, each bead contributing to a masterpiece that reflects their individual style.

manekNya was founded by two Peranakan sisters, Swee Lin and Swee May, who shared a passion for preserving and promoting their cultural heritage.
Both were drawn to the intricate beauty of this craft, and their love for it eventually led them to start this venture together. manekNya's helped to elevate the designs, and bring a fresh perspective to traditional Nyonya's beadwork and create a brand that celebrates and modernizes the art of beading.
Their goal is to not only provide beautiful, high-quality products but also to educate and inspire others to appreciate the art and culture behind it. They hope to be able to preserve and promote this beautiful craft for future generations to enjoy.
