I've used horse hair before as well. I made a coil pot out of stoneware, painted it with porcelain slip when it was still leather hard and burnished it. After bisque firing and high firing in the electric kiln, I took a propane torch and fired the hair onto the pots exterior.

i know you can fire wire that is made specifically for coils in kilns. it is made to have an extremely high melting point, so it stays intact when fired in the kiln.

how did it come out????

I'm doing it next week :) Hopefully Mrs. Havelka will be up to it too, but if all goes well, I'll post some pics. Buffalo and horse hair are on the menu!

Ohhh... I didn't know that it worked that way, but now that you describe it, that makes more sense. Yes, I could see how it would be hard then to control that process.

Horse hair is actually more like raku firing in a way. I bisque fire the pot first, then fire again and pull the pot from the kiln when it reaches 1000 degrees. then the horse hair is draped over the pot and the carbon mark occurs as the hair burns. I recomend a raku kiln like the one simon shows how to build for this.

Horse hair is something that I actually have never tried. I'm sure you could figure something out.
I wonder if you placed the hair with masking tape what would happen? Maybe the tape would just burn away in the kiln since it has a high paper content? Make a video of that... I would love to see some horsehair pottery before it is fired. I never have.

Thank you! And thanks for watching.

This piece has such a classic look - I really like it. The shape and the placement of the wire, and the simplicity just all really work together.
