Horsehair & Ferric Chloride Vessel

Handcrafted Horsehair-Fired Vessel – A Fusion of Fire & Art

This 6 x 6-inch wheel-thrown vessel is a stunning blend of artistry and natural elements. Burnished with red terra sigillata, its smooth, polished surface radiates warmth and depth. During the firing process, delicate strands of horsehair are applied, creating intricate, smoke-infused patterns that make each piece truly one-of-a-kind.

A light ferric chloride mist enhances the vessel’s earthy hues, adding richness and contrast to its organic beauty. As a distinctive final touch, the artist's signature circle design is carved into the surface, making this work a personal and expressive statement.

Whether displayed as a centerpiece or part of a collection, this vessel captures the essence of fire, form, and craftsmanship.
