Ahmad Nizar (53)
Seeing piles of pottery waste in Plered district, Purwakarta, Ahmad Nizar, 53, was inspired to "turn it" into useful material. Through a series of trials, he was able to produce ornaments and building materials requested by a number of renowned architects. In addition, Nizar managed to maintain the regeneration of pottery craftsmen.
The waste from pottery production is quite varied, from broken earthenware pottery, bricks to roof tiles that don’t meet standards. All of that is usually left to pile up. "I witnessed the phenomenon. In 2005, I started experimenting to turn the waste into a new product without removing the characteristics of Plered," Nizar said during interview at the Batagapit Workshop in Anjun village, Plered district, Purwakarta, West Java, Friday (8/11/2019).
