Horsehair Technique
Saturday, September 10 9:30AM-1:00PM
$30
Creative Clay Studios, Alexandria VA

This is an opportunity to learn horsehair & fuming techniques and take
them home with you to reproduce on your own.

Bring your bisque fired pots and learn how to produce distinct pottery
with horsehair and iron fuming effects. Ideally, your leatherhard pots
should be sprayed or brushed with terra sigliata* and burnished; then
fired to cone 08. This will give your pot a delicious finish!

The pots will be placed into a hot kiln and brought to temperature. They
will then be pulled from the kiln, and you will lay horsehair onto your
pot making patterns and swirls with your personal flair.
