Horse Hair Pottery Raku Pottery Chinese Symbols Jewelry Other Pieces
Raku horsehair pots are fired quickly to 1200F degrees and are then taken out of a Raku kiln and placed on a noncombustible surface. Hair from a horse's tail or mane is then laid upon the hot pottery... These vessels are handbuilt from slabs of clay and the Raku fired: an ancient firing technique developed by the Japanese... These vessels are decorated with Ancient Chinese Characters. Out of more than 80,000 symbols in the Chinese language, I chose to use on my pieces 14 that I find represent important aspects of life... These necklaces and pins are made by using slabs of clay that are cut out into various forms... Although given the nature of pottery all of my items are truly one-of-a-kind pieces (no two are exactly alike), there is something different about these items.  Many of them are exploratory in nature...
