We are now in Masbagik, East Lombok with a visit to a traditional pottery village. We watched the pottery being made on hand and foot wheels, cleaned up and baked in an open fire for 40-50 minutes. The children and adults were allowed to work on the pottery. Cindy chose not to as there were no nudes to sculpt. Iron is used to shine the pottery which is smoothed with a cheese-like cloth. We were informed that a group from New Zealand sent electric pottery wheels to the village, but the women were unable to use the technology and chose to stay with traditional methods. The black pottery occurs when shredded coconut is spread on the baked pottery. The plates are the largest exports. We were told that there are 150 women and 2 men in the village who make the pottery. The other men collect the money upon the sales.
