Good morning from the Craft Incubation centre in Balik Pulau where artists including master woodcarver Nizam Yahaya is based. Nizam, a Penang lang specialises  in making exquisite and intricate keris hilts.  

His work motifs are influenced by natural elements such as native plants and flowers, and he continues to hone his skills under the mentorship of master woodcarver Norhaiza Noordin. Nizam also produces souvenirs and other wood-based products as well as commission work including this lovely "Jebak Puyoh", or Quail's trap.   Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau, Penang.Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau Craft Incubation centre in Penang. #davidstlohgallery #nizamyahaya #masterwoodcarver #balikpulauartincubationcentre #penang Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau, Penang.Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau Craft Incubation centre in Penang. #davidstlohgallery #nizamyahaya #masterwoodcarver #balikpulauartincubationcentre #penang Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau, Penang.Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau Craft Incubation centre in Penang. #davidstlohgallery #nizamyahaya #masterwoodcarver #balikpulauartincubationcentre #penang Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau, Penang.Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau Craft Incubation centre in Penang. #davidstlohgallery #nizamyahaya #masterwoodcarver #balikpulauartincubationcentre #penang Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau, Penang.Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau Craft Incubation centre in Penang. #davidstlohgallery #nizamyahaya #masterwoodcarver #balikpulauartincubationcentre #penang Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau, Penang.Master woodcarver, Nizam Yahaya at Balik Pulau Craft Incubation centre in Penang. #davidstlohgallery #nizamyahaya #masterwoodcarver #balikpulauartincubationcentre #penang
