Horsehair and Feather Pottery
Horsehair and Feather Pottery is a in depth process (and sometimes rather dangerous) form of firing pottery using horsehair and feathers. Like saggar it is a ten step in depth process for leaving the organic matter to impress the outside of pottery. After a pot is thrown and trimmed a terra sigallate (an old roman recipe) is applied to greenware (dried pot) and carefully burnished three times using a leather cloth.
the end results are stunning. Horsehair pieces are works of art. like saggar they are truly masterpiece works of art.
*Horsehair/Feather pottery is non functional and is not used for food or water, it is simple ART!
