Horse Hair Pot

No two Horse Hair pots are the same.

Tall, Thin Horse Hair Vase

The pot is a perfect match for my kitchens granite counter tops.

Burnishing is a process where you force the fine particle on the surface of the pot closer together by pushing down on a stone you are rubbing on the pot. This gives the pot a very smooth finish and a nice feel to the surface.

Done as a demo for the class, this Sail Boat is made of three-eighths inch (3/8″) carbon steel plate. Cut, formed, welded and coated.

Tea Pot,Round

A fun pot to throw, This doughnut style Tea Pot is functional, but mostly for show.

Shino Pot with over glazes

With over glazes and carbon trapping the color combinations on these Shino pots are endless.

Shino Bottle

Shino Glazes can be high lighted with other glazes. But the saying goes,,, Shino first or suffer the curse. If you put shino glazes over other glazes they have may not play well together.
