Where to buy polymer clay in Malaysia?

(Updated: October 11, 2016)

After so many attempts to look for polymer clay in Malaysia, more specifically in KL, I almost gave up. Through many forums (old and newly posted ones), Q&A pages and everything, finally I found a few (literally a few) of them who can help you if you're equally lost as well.

1. Multifilla Art & Craft Supplies (Seri Kembangan; NEW branch: 10 Boulevard, PJ)

This is one of the shops that sell complete range of crafting products. Their websites say them all and it is run by an old lovely couple. They are very helpful and will guide you through if you're a beginner. They have the famous brands of polymer clay, including FIMO (soft, classic, effect), Premo, Sculpey, and some Kato Polyclay to begin with. They also sell all kinds of tools.

I bought some FIMO soft and FIMO classic along with eye pins from them. FIMO is a standardised brand so expect the clay to be of similar and standard quality compared to other clays. Kato is really hard for me; it took me a long time to just condition the clay.

Bear in mind standard branded clays are not cheap so if you're budget tight I suggest you to read on.

2. STAEDTLER Malaysia online shop @ Rakuten

This site has closed down along with the termination of Rakuten services in Malaysia.

3. Artfriend (The Gardens, the Curve)

A Singapore-based chain store selling a wide range of crafting supplies, from pencils, water colours, various paints, beads and chains, to miniature building materials. You can easily find any (almost, any) kind of clay-related products you're looking for in this shop, be it polymer clay (air dry clay, paper clay, etc.), glaze, clay tools, pasta machine (for clay), and more! It's really a fun place where I could spend hours in it, looking at each items, drooling, but not buying them... Yes, it could be expensive! (e.g. Silicone mold maker at price of more than a hundred bucks..!)

One note, the outlet in the Curve is much bigger, and spacious.  

4. Craft Haven (One Utama)

This is another physical shop that sells polymer clay and other art materials in a shopping mall. Will not comment much as I have not been to that place just yet, and will do if I have some time in the future.  

5.Claystation Yong

They sell all sorts of polymer clay at price about half of those branded clays. Her workshop is located along the main road in Setapak so it's not difficult to find. They also offer various tools and other crafting materials (especially felts).

They have recently put up an e-shop but I am no longer sure if the workshop is still open for walk-ins, though.

6. Malaysia Clay Art

An online shop that sells polymer clay, air dry clay, and related accessories/tools. Looks promising! Perfect if you prefer to get items delivered to your doorstep. At occassions you get some free tutorials via e-mails. They also organize some competitions occasionally with prizes in the form of polymer clay for what you have created! :)

7. Beading.my

This is an online shop, mainly focusing on selling tools and miscellaneous for beads and/or jewellery making. Type "polymer clay" in the search bar and you will find FIMO and Monsterkraft. What's best is that they provide shipping nationwide and internationally. 

Please bear in mind that there are more shops to be discovered especially the art workshops or studios! Forgive me if I have not include them here, and do drop me a comment below so as to benefit everyone else (: I hope the summary above saves some of your time. Feel free to shower in more ideas!
