Bears - Horsehair Pottery

Horse hair pottery is created by applying layers of ultra refined clay, called terra sigillata, to the surface of a pot then polishing that surface by hand until satin smooth. Once dry the pot is fired to 1700 degrees, cooled slightly, then pulled HOT (1000 degrees) from the kiln and horse hair and feathers are applied. The horse hair and feathers carbonize into the white surface creating beautiful abstract patterns. Once cooled the pot is cleaned and sealed with wax, which also brings up the satin sheen.

Bears come with hang tags with creative process on one side and a legend of the bear on the other. The legend or story really gives the piece a personality.
