How about a pottery wheel experience in a region known for its pottery, just a 10-minute drive from Borobudur?

Price of the Pottery Wheel Experience
Price of the Pottery Wheel Experience
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.
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
