Namastey! Let's get to know each other a bit here. This is a small brief below.
This ancient art has originated from two Longpi villages in Manipur, namely Longpi Khullen and Longpi Kajui near Ukhrul district. It is mainly practised by Tangkhul community residing in the hill district of Manipur. Longpi pottery is made from a mixed paste of ground black serpentine stone and special brown clay, which is found only in Longpi village. The pots are manually shaped, polished and sun-dried, potters collect the products and heat it in a bonfire which takes a total of six days to be completed.After all this tedious process and craftsmanship we get a trully mesmerizing output, but now this craft is slowly vanishing as the artisans are not getting the minimum value . Now people don't buy from our local outlets, they want to buy everything online, so we are also online now, we are hopeful that this initiative with Respect Origins will bring new life to our craft.
Respect Origins work to promote arts and crafts from Indian Heritage. They have set-up this online store for artisans, who don't not need to promote their products by writing about them or selling them themselves. Respect Origins do all the marketing, courier and payment gateways also.
