Small Pet Urn Keepsake: Red Micaceous Horsehair Box

Small Pet Urn Keepsake: Red Micaceous Horsehair Box

Use your own pet's horse hair or bird feathers to create unique pattern!

Micaceous clay is traditionally used by Pueblo Indians for cookware. This clay contains bits of mica which make it naturally beautiful. Horsehair pottery is made by removing a pot from the kiln at 1200 degrees and draping horsehairs over it. The hairs burn their own unique pattern onto the surface of the pot.

Though horsehair is usually used for this process because it is long and coarse, it is possible to use human hair, pet hair, and even feathers, each creating a different type of mark. Horsehair pottery is an ideal gift for a horse-lover, or a perfect memento of your own horse.

For more personalization, this artist can decorate a pot using a few hairs or feathers from your own pet at an additional cost. Once ordered you will receive a Collection Kit in the mail with a pre-addressed envelope to submit hair or feathers.
