description | This paper aims to provide an initial background of the process of making traditional ceramic
pottery of culture heritage. Ceramic pottery is one of the hallmarks of Sabah’s heirloom, not only
use as cooking and storage containers but also closely linked with folk cultures and heritage.
The Bajau Laut ethnic community of Semporna or better known as the Sea Gypsies, mostly are
boat dwellers and work as fishermen in the coast. Therefore, this research aims to explore the
traditional pottery making in Sabah, by investigating the background history of Lapohan pottery.
This study is also based on the chronological process of making pottery and taboos of the
process of preparing the clay, forming, decoration technique, motif application and firing
techniques. The relevant information for the study will be gathered from field study, including
observation, in-depth interview and video recording. In-depth interviews will be conducted with
several potters and the conversation and pottery making process will be recorded in order to
understand the actual process of making Lapohan. |
