Horse Hair Burning and Raku Firing Pottery!

[@Robin-l8e]

I recently read an article where a man used his wife's hair that fell out during chemo. She survived, and they consider the vase a testament to coming through the fire of cancer. Pretty cool!

I love Raku!! You never quite know what you get when it's done, but it's always unique and beautiful. Thanks for the demonstration.

Future experiments - what dried flowers on raku look like? Or to try and 'paint' with a horse-hair paintbrush?

For your horsehair, you can sprinkle sugar for a cool effect too.

I am getting ready to do a Raku event and have a question about the horse hair. After you pull the ceramic piece out of the Raku kiln and apply the horse hair, did you leave it out to cool or place it in one of the trash cans with paper etc?

I love the look of raku but haven't tried it...yet! I am wondering out loud here, I know that some wrapping paper will burn different colors when thrown into a fire due to the inks. I wonder what it would do in a raku firing? I'm sure someone, somewhere has tried this. Good stuff! Thanks!

My son who is 4 years old really wants to come to the event in August. Can you direct me to the info for us to come? We are 30 mins from mocha monkey and we have also been wanting to visit the coffee shop as well.

Have you tried it with human hair? Would that work? Can I presume these are not food safe? So cool to watch the process, thanks.
