Preserving Timeless Traditions of Craftsmanship
Khurja Pottery is a traditional art from the district of Bulandshahr in UP. As per legend, King Taimur of Afghanistan brought Syrian and Egyptian potters around 500 years ago and settled in the Khurja region. Khurja pottery is a renowned art secured under the Geographical Indications and ranks 178 in India's GI Act, 1999. Modern-day Khurja pottery flourished in the 1940s till partition. However, this art was revived in 1952 by the pottery development centre, leading to a significant transformation in the spread of this art from foreign countries.
Manufacturing Process
- Developing Clay – In the beginning, all materials are combined in a ratio not revealed to the public. Then the mixture is ground in a ball mill machine for around 15 hours. Later, when consistency is achieved in the mixture, it is put between pan filters, and only relevant water content is kept within a 0.75-radius clay disc. Clay discs are again processed through a pug mill machine using a pugging method, which helps in obtaining a fine clay mixture. In the pug mill, Archimedes screws force clay in upward and straight movement. Finally, solid and liquid clay are obtained from this process.
- Clay Moulding Process – Moulding is used to develop ceramic jars where POP (Plaster of Paris) is used for settling moulds. It is ensured that there are no lumps in the blended solution. Later, clay results are discharged into the prepared mould until the cavity is filled. To eliminate bubbles, the mould box is rotated so only the needed clay remains inside the mould.
- Smoothing & Painting Process – In the smoothing process, shrivelled products are shaped using a semi-finished method. Then, sandpaper is used for sanding, which enhances the outer surface.
- Glazing Process – Glazing refers to the glossy finish applied to the artifacts. It is used for weatherproofing, decoration, and reinforcing the ceramics. These glazes come in various finishes, including clear and translucent. Flower embossing is then done on the surface to give it an aesthetic look.
- Firing Procedure – Finally, the firing process is done in a covered kiln, traditionally a brick kiln. Nowadays, electric kilns are used, which offer temperature control for better convenience and reduced losses.
