The Tradition of Sasak Pottery in Lombok
Sasak pottery is a traditional craft made by the Sasak people, the indigenous community of Lombok, Indonesia. This pottery tradition has existed for hundreds of years and is still preserved in pottery villages today.
The pottery is made using simple tools and traditional techniques. Many artisans still use a manual spinning wheel, shaping clay by hand while slowly turning the wheel.
After shaping the clay, the pottery is dried naturally under the sun and then fired to create durable handmade pieces.
Common Sasak pottery products include:
- Cooking pots
- Bowls and plates
- Water containers
- Decorative vases
- Handmade souvenirs
Each piece reflects the cultural identity and artistic tradition of Lombok.
