Navajo Horsehair Pottery

Navajo Horsehair pottery involves applying actual horsehair onto fired ceramic clay pots to create a distinctive marble effect. The horsehair is evenly spread on the pottery and burned onto it at precise temperatures. Each piece is then carved, color added and a matte glaze finish is then applied to each one-of-a-kind piece. The horse is revered in various cultures for embodying stamina, agility, beauty, and strength.
