Summer 2023

 I have been working on horse hair pottery since the weather has warmed up. I am drawn to the contrast of the black and white. It is a very spiritual process to honor the horse.

I am still enthralled with the concept of Black, White and Copper.  I also am still working on Horse Hair Raku.  There again. the concept of Black and White.  Many of my new pieces are still finished with my traditional Copper Raku.  The fire is the magic with these pieces.  I hope that you will stop by one of these festivals and see my new work!

                                       Horse Hair Raku

The American Indians developed this unique technique, using horse hair, to honor their fallen horses in battle.  I make each piece from white clay and when it is leather hard, I burnish this piece.  After bisque firing, I place the piece in the raku kiln and take the temperature to 1400 degrees.  At this temperature, I take this piece out of the kiln and place horse hair on the pot.  Each piece of horse hair create a burn design.  The overall effect is a soft burn design on the white clay.  I smoke the top black for contrast.  I love the final look and its spiritual nature.

This piece won an award at Boston Mills Artfest.. I was so proud!
