About Horsehair Raku Pottery:
Horsehair raku is an ancient ceramic technique in which strands of horsehair are carefully placed on the hot surface of a freshly fired pot. As the hair burns away, it leaves behind delicate, smoky tendrils and unpredictable markings, making each piece entirely unique. This technique originated in Southwest Native American pottery traditions and has since been embraced by contemporary ceramic artists worldwide.
