ceramics pundong

Orchard Jetis, Panjangrejo, located in district Pundong, Bantul, around 20 kilometre southward town Yogyakarta. In district of Pundong there are some other orchards now grows to become industrial sentra of pottery, but Jetis has separate keunikan. In Jetis we can witness pottery in the form of most traditional, namely form of functional bases, for example pot, belanga, frying pan, kendhi, genthong water and cobek. Technics produced it is also still same as used by their great-grandparents some generations before all.

One of keunikan which still able is witnessed in Jetis is way of making of pottery which still using is technics turned around, one of technics of traditional base which have been recognized since hundreds of last year. Main equipments is perbot or rotary table which wooden, while processing combustion still be done with open stove made from formation batu-bata. Firewood as component of burning besides obtained from area of around also delivered from Purworejo.

Clay as component of base usually delivered from area Godean, Kabupaten Sleman, what assumed with quality enough good. " Hard land price one 3 m3 average of Rp. 175000,00," light Mr. Dasilan. Average of clay so much fullfills to produce during one months, except there are order in gross.

Some members asked for industrial expansion training of pottery, which then is folowed up with help of product marketing they are through KUD Panjangrejo. But comprehensive and intensive training has just been done in year 1990-an by Departemen Perindustrian DIY and related institutes.
