Handmade hands-on workshops are popular
Malaysian Generation Z enjoying new experiences offline and online after the Corona Disaster.
Many workshop attendees participate online as well as at events where they can experience the workshops in real life. They can easily participate in workshops by registering for three different classes at a time on "KLOOK", a travel experience booking site, for a discount. Some online classes on “Craftla.co” teach traditional ketupat (grass weaving), which is used by elderly men in cooking, and is popular among Generation Z for its traditional experience.
Various people also teach their own special skills, such as a specialized one that teaches how to make the now-booming Korean basic cosmetics from scratch. Online workshops are not only convenient and easy, as there is no need to go out of the house, but they also allow people to connect with people and experiences from the comfort of their own homes through workshops.
Another cozy art studio, Art & Bonding, claims that anyone can become a painter, pairing up to collaboratively create art over drinks such as wine, juice, or coffee.
Behind the upsurge in workshops, both real and online, is the desire of Generation Z, who experienced closure during the pandemic, to try something new and revitalize themselves, to develop new hobbies, and to add fun to their daily lives.
