I think you can get a good idea by watching this video in detail!
Here’s the finished product! ※This is before firing.
Where to Experience It
It is located about a 10-minute drive from Borobudur.
By the way, this pottery village area is the hometown of Ganjar Pranowo, the governor of Central Java who is participating in the 2024 presidential election!
This area has been famous for pottery making for over 300 years, and the traditional craft seems to have been passed down mainly through generations.
IDR 30,000 per piece (about 300 yen) Shipping cost varies depending on the destination, but it was about IDR 20,000 (about 200 yen) for shipping from the Borobudur area to Yogyakarta. ※The above was the shipping cost for three pieces.
By the way, they said it takes about 3 days for the piece to be fired after it’s made, so you can pick it up locally after 3 days.
In case of delivery, it arrived at my home in about 10 days.
By the way, if you don’t have time to wait for it to be picked up, they said there is also a pottery making option where you can just take the piece with you in a cardboard box and wait for it to dry.
Estimated Time for the Pottery Wheel Experience
It takes about 30 minutes to make one piece.
Lecture time: about 5 minutes Making time: about 10 minutes
