STONE MASONS INDO STYLE

Mojerkoto is an interesting city an hour up the road from Surabaya in East Java, it is home to a variety of artisans and craft industries ranging from shoe manufacture to stone masonry. This video is a small snap shot of the stone carving operation which involves an entire village, No art college in sight or pieces of paper qualifying anyone in a particular field, one guys started a few decades back now everyone has a go. Thus proving the illusion of limitations most of us put on ourselves as to what we can and can not do. No one told this village of people they were artists they just picked up tools and started to learn on the job. same goes for the bamboo production, and a variety of of other craft based industries in this area .
