At the exploration stage, the data collection wasconducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The design process was conducted in the improvisation stage, while the process of forming, burning, and finishing were conducted in the embodiment stage. The partners involved in this creation are UD Tri Surya Keramik and Bali Technology Center of Creative Ceramic Industry (BTIIK).
