HORSE HAIR FIRING
Horse Hair Firing by Katie

Each piece of the firing will turn out with different patterns. The fire of the burning hair, makes a
unique design on the items, along with any other techniques applied. They are pulled from the
kiln one at a time, after being heated to appr. 1300 degrees F., and placed upon a fireproof surface,
strands of horse hair are quickly applied. Seconds count here, and timing is critical. If the piece is too
cool, the hair will not burn at all.
To care for your piece do not place water in the container, do not submerge the piece in water, to clean
simply wipe the piece gently with a clean soft, or very slightly damp cloth.
HORSEHAIR PIECES ARE MUCH MORE FRAGILE THEN GLAZED PIECES OF POTTERY.
THE PIECE NEEDS TO BE TREATED LIKE A TREASURE THAT YOU CARE FOR WITH LOVE AND GENTLE KINDNESS.
Thank-you
Katie
