Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, combined with a lack of awareness of local traditions and the low profit value of products, has led to the decline of traditional ceramic craft centres in West Java. The purpose of this Research is to develop a creative industry strategy based on local traditions of craft centres through collaboration between artists/designers and artisans. This Research employs qualitative methods, drawing on a cultural and fine arts approach. The Research results in a model of creative industry development strategy based on local traditions of traditional ceramic craft centres, which can be replicated in other centres with similar cases.
