About the Art Form
About the Art Form
Longpi owes its name to two Manipuri villages from where the craft and technique of making this black earthenware originates. Longpi pottery is totally handmade (from moulding to firing) with no use of any machine or even a potter’s wheel, which makes each piece truly unique.
- Black pottery is made using Serpentine stone and locally available alluvial clay found abundantly in the banks of the river in Longpi.
- Artisans knead a clay dough which is then left to age for a few days and then shaped by hand or in a mould and left to dry under the shade.
- Continual moistening, rubbing, and turning gradually smoothens and thins the walls and refines the shape.
- Each piece is dried under shade and sun-dried further to properly dehydrate the clay. Thereafter, all pieces are heated at a temperature of 700 to 900 degree celsius.
- On completion of firing process, earthenware pieces are taken out and polished with leaves from a local creeper (which lends a unique black colour to the pottery), and the polishing is finished off with beeswax.
