  • Raku Hoirsehair Sculpture - Oceania Shell horsehair. Purple mica organic pot

    Raku Hoirsehair Sculpture – Oceania Shell

    $250.00

    I love experimenting with surface textures. This is my new experimental raku technique. This horsehair raku vessel is created using a unique firing process. The piece is hand-built from coils. The terra sigillata mixed with minerals applied in a few coats to bone dry clay and then burnished creating a very smooth surface. The vessel is bisque fired and then fired again at raku kiln. It is pulled from the kiln while glowing red hot.

    Horsehairs were placed on the surface, igniting and leaving black carbon designs on the surface. The minerals give a luster and subtle sheen that emanates from within the clay. The smoke initiates a chemical process pulling vibrant iridescent gold, blue and purple-like luster to the surface. No two pieces of Raku will ever be alike.

    Dimensions: 9” long by 6.5” wide by 4″ tall.

  • TOTEM BORN OF FIRE. Raku horsehair sculpture.  A totem born of fire and smoke—rugged, organic, and alive with iridescent luster. This sculptural ceramic totem reimagines the traditional horsehair firing technique, once reserved for uniform, functional vases, into a celebration of organic irregular forms.

    Raku Horsehair Totem Sculpture | BORN OF FIRE

    $400.00

    A totem born of fire and smoke—rugged, organic, and alive with iridescent luster. The surface is prepared with terra sigillata infused with minerals. At its most incandescent—pulled red-hot from the kiln—horsehair is laid across the ceramic body, igniting on contact and leaving smoky black carbon trails that dance across the form like ancient markings. The minerals respond to the heat and smoke, drawing forth a subtle, iridescent sheen—a emerald pearl-like luster that seems to rise from within the clay itself.

    Dimensions: 11.5″ tall x 9″ wide x 3.5″ deep.
