Calling for Handmade Artists! Show Your Crafts at MAKERS - Handmade Contest in Malaysian and Singapore


An artist that makes crafts, a crafter that makes art. Which one are you? It doesn't matter. I recently learned a valuable lesson to never box yourself up as a creative talent. The reason is simple: Your life as an artist or a crafter is part of your life, and your life is part of your brand as a creative person. Art can never be boxed up, categorized or labelled; art deserves to be expressed, an artist deserves to expand his or her own art.

If you have been building your own creative brand and making art or crafts for a living, you will be pleased to know that now there is a chance for you to show off your talent and showcase your brand.
If you think you have what it takes (which I strongly believe that you do), read on and find out how you can be part of MAKERS - the first handcraft brand contest in Malaysia and Singapore.


Here's what you need to know about MAKERS
