Abstract

This study aims to determine the benefits of training in making decorative pots with GFRC material to increase production time efficiency. The glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) is a material technology in the manufacture of handicrafts using a mixture of cement, milk, and glass fiber. Training to make handicrafts from GFRC material is one alternative to increase the efficiency of ornamental pot products. This study used the descriptive qualitative method. The research was carried out in a special area of Yogyakarta by involving 20 members of the Indonesian Furniture and Handicraft Industry Association (ASMINDO) Yogyakarta. Data were obtained by direct observation of the training activities carried out. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, namely data reduction, tabulation, data presentation, and concluding. The results showed that the training was carried out by considering the curriculum, training materials and methods, experimental processes, and production efficiency. Participants were able to make four new pot models according to the trend of craft product design. New models and manufacturing methods can be used as a reference to produce shapes and finishes. The participants felt the benefits and applied this technique in the craft production process. Therefore, the effectiveness of productivity and the economy and welfare can be increased in MSMEs in Yogyakarta.
