On 7 June 2024, eight students from Semester 4 of the Diploma in Graphic Design programme visited the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre. The purpose of the visit was to gather visual material for redesigning a new brochure for the centre, an integral project for their semester coursework.

During the two-hour visit, students had the opportunity to capture images of antique pewter pieces, historical documents, and interactive displays showcasing the company’s evolution. They also enjoyed a guided tour of the pewter production process, witnessing first-hand the transformation of raw materials into finely crafted pewter items. This included observing traditional techniques such as casting, polishing, and engraving, providing valuable insights into the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with Royal Selangor.

Furthermore, students explored the factory floor, observing skilled artisans at work. This left them with a deeper appreciation for the dedication and precision involved in pewterware manufacturing.

The visit enriched their educational experience and instilled a greater respect for Malaysian heritage and craftsmanship among the students. It offered a practical, hands-on learning opportunity that enhanced their understanding of design principles and cultural narratives, perfectly aligning with their academic pursuits.
