Kasongan Craft Village, Yogyakarta

Hello friends. How are you guys after last holiday? I pray you are in good health. Today I want to share a piece of art from the ground, which comes from Kasongan village, Yogyakarta. Who is not familiar with this one village, Kasongan Tourism Village in Jogja is a village that has a superior product, namely pottery. Pottery is the basic material used to make products, both household furniture and room decoration.

Kasongan is an area that has been famous for its pottery crafts from the past, and that is also what makes the pottery village a destination for local and foreign tourists, yes, like me, who came here to see the handicrafts here. Basically the Special Region of Yogyakarta has always been the center of attention of tourists, because it has a lot of tourist destinations.

I came into a building like a hut, there I saw how the process of making a statue. The craftsmen here all look very serious in the process of making these statues, I am amazed that some of their sculptures look very perfect. According to one of the craftsmen here, “the characteristic and technique of making sculptures here is clay. why clay? Because clay is the basic material for making pottery as I said above and before being made into a statue, the material must first be processed in several stages. And for the mixture, kaolin is used and that is the hallmark of being strong, durable and also able to last a very long time.”

Seeing from some of the craftsmen here who are very serious about the manufacturing process, I am interested in having some of them. Because the process is so serious when it is made, moreover, the quality is definitely guaranteed.

Take a look at some of the processes and results of their craft, it's amazing.
