This will capture the essence of the doodling, showing off spontaneous art. We will also launch our very own Doodle Malaysia zine, featuring works of the talented doodlers from our Facebook group. What initially started as a Facebook group to post doodles has now exploded to a platform where members get together and support one another in their art pursuits. We started this page about 2 years ago and over the years, the group has grown from a small group of 200 members to now standing at 2,190 members; all organically. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PRESENTED BY AIRASIA FOUNDATION WEAVING WITH THE WEAVERS: Rags 2 Riches talk & workshop (Sat 18 & Sun 19, 3.45pm - 5pm) Learn to upcycle scrap materials and discarded fabrics into beautiful products that can be reused in new and different ways.
