Telepuk Legacy

The Art of Cloth & Gold

Telepuk Legacy

Preserving, teaching and developing the traditional Malay art of Telepuk.

A quiet alchemy of cloth and light.

Telepuk transforms carefully prepared cloth through repeated impressions of gold leaf, placed with finely carved wooden stamps. Telepuk Legacy brings practice, research, collections, demonstrations and education together.
