Original artwork description:

Horse hair fired vessel urn 393 stoneware with brass and bird finial.
The bisque pots are loaded into the Raku kiln and the temperature is brought up to approximately 1200 degrees. The pots are then carefully removed, one at a time and the horsehair is applied to the extremely hot pot. Instantly the hair starts to vaporize on the surface of the pot, squiggling and dancing around the surface of the piece, painting it's image on the pot, leaving behind carbon black lines. never are two piece alike. The pieces are then washed, dried, and hand waxed with a quality paste wax.

Materials used:

clay, brass
