Abstract

The research on Pottery Handicraft Development from Local Wisdom at Ban-Lampong is action research. The researcher collects information from Ban Lamphong potter population. The results prove that the local pottery wisdom is disappearing. According to study of baked clay of Ban Lamphong, the temperature of baked clay is about 700 Celsius. The clay is not very tough, causing the clay to have high porosity, which is suitable for making flowerpots that need moisture in the pot. In addition, the current trend of planting plants is popular, therefore, it is inspired to design small flowerpots. The mix ratio is 70% local clay and 30% grog with good formability. It is not broken or damaged while burning. The researcher designed and made small pottery in three patterns: 1) A container with scratching 2) A container with a stand and decorated with scratching and 3) A container decorated with animal patterns. The materials and equipment used for pottery are readily available. The shape is clay pot and form it with hand squeezing. The charcoal is used for outdoor burning as a heat source. It causes less smoke and high heat for long time. The entire work is covered with straw to keep the heat, then light a fire from below and let the fire spread throughout the pile. Keep observing that the charcoal has been heated until completely turned into ashes and knocking with a resonant sound, indicating that the workpiece is completed. It is a product of wisdom that generates income for the community through the passing of art teachers. to local students and youth.
