Horse Hair Raku is a type of surface application. Horse hair is applied to a very hot completed ceramic piece. The hair burns into the surface leaving unique markings and character. Bring hair from your favorite horse to use during the experience. The forms for this class are pre-made taking the shape of a decorative vase. The application of the horse hair is about a 30 minute experience. Includes a glass of wine of your choice.
Advance notification of at least 3 weeks is required as each piece is custom made. Therefore, Horse Hair Pottery will only be available as a selection 3 weeks (or more) from the current date.
