Carved Vessels
Each of these one-of-a-kind pieces
are
hand-carved, then coated with a black
slip. Excess slip is then carefully scraped away, uncovering
the insized line and shape. The inside is glazed with a satin
white, making the piece suitable for holding water.
Sizes vary from 8” to 12”.
Prices range from $85 to $120.00.
Photos will be sent upon request.
Horsehair
Raku
Horsehair Raku
Horsehair Pottery originated in the late
1980’s in the American Southwest when a Acoma potter bent
over her kiln and her hair accidentally fell against a pot,
leaving a carbon trail on the surface of the clay. My
horsehair pots are made from white stoneware, sprayed with
layers of a fine clay slip called terra sigillata. After
bisque firing, I heat the pots to 1300o Fahrenheit in a raku
kiln. Still hot, the pieces are removed and placed into a
fiber-lined cage. I use forceps to apply the horsehair to
the hot surface, leaving carbon and smoke trails.
Prices range from $95 to $130.00.
