ANCHOR: Tourist love a great souvenir from every place they visit, but how about making your own? A former tour guide has turned his house in Indonesia into a shop teaching basic principles of the silver craft. Now tourists can have fun making their own souvenirs. STORY: Rather than buying souvenirs, these tourists are making them. For some visitors to Indonesia's ancient city Yogyakarta the craft of firing, shaping and measuring silver is part of their holiday. [Marie Eve Lefebure, Tourist]: "I really like it, to create some rings like that by yourself, it's really amazing, but it's difficult." The idea came from tour guide Agus Budiyanto, who once led tourists to visit handicraft sites. He has turned his home into a shop teaching basic principles of the silver craft, a well known speciality in the region. [Agus Budiyanto, Silver Instructor]: "I got this idea when I was a tour guide. I thought people not only wanted to know how silver handicrafts were made, but wanted to do it themselves." The silver making class teaches basics of the craft from choosing the design, to transferring it onto a mould, and forging the silver. The class costs up to 20 dollars per session and sends tourists home laden with their own handiwork.
