In this episode of "The CodyO Show" we have a guest appearance with my wife Leah. She will be showing you how she gets these cool looking black lines on her wheel thrown porcelain vases using horse hair.
When the horse hair is placed on the glowing hot piece of pottery, the carbon released from the burning horse hair is trapped inside the clay body leaving a perfect silhouette of where the horse hair was. It also leaves a sort of shadow trailing away from the silhouette. Horse hair is ideal because it is so thick. I don't think human hair would work. This effect looks great on porcelain because of the nice contrast between black and white.Check out how it is done!
