The Artsy Craftsy is a Malaysian platform that explores creativity. It doesn't fit in ONE, specific box. Our intention is to inspire personal + collective growth through creative arts & crafts content, activities + community.
Becoming The Artsy Craftsy
Started off as a blog in 2008, Shia Lynn was determined to start The Artsy Craftsy after noticing there were no Malaysian creativity website or blogs. The aim was to document Shia Lynn's creative exploration and to offer her creativity-centric platform as a support to those who are embarking on a similar self-discovery journey. She included content on DIY arts and crafts, while sharing her thoughts on how creativity helped her with her self-development. Overtime, Shia Lynn expanded her content to empower people to be creative and discover the joy of creativity + art making. As an initiative, Shia Lynn also feature like-minded people in the scene, mainly Malaysian artists, crafters and makers.
In 2014, Shia Lynn entered The Artsy Craftsy in the DiGi WWWOW Awards Malaysia and was selected as one of the Top 10 finalists in the content category. Finally, in 2015, The Artsy Craftsy became a full-fledge platform to cultivate creativity through content, community engagement and activities.
At The Artsy Craftsy, we believe in small wins everyday! The year 2021 marked as a special achievement for us as The Artsy Craftsy has expanded from a one-woman show to a crafty group of three. Collectively, with the team of contributors, we carry over 25 years of experience in the arts and crafts industry, including retail, product knowledge, servicing, teaching and events. Our next milestone is to make sure that we turn the pioneer T.A.C name into a resourceful hub.
We give thanks to the support of some of our fans-turned-friends, because of them The Artsy Craftsy remains one of the most go-to names in the Malaysian arts and crafts community
