Search Signed Unicorn Horsehair Pottery Figurine 7.5"H x 5.5"W This regal Horse Hair Pottery Unicorn Figurine is about 7.5 inches tall and between 5 an 6 inches wide. It is signed by New Mexico artist Maria Zuni Plum who explains below the updated horsehair process. Horsehair Pottery The process for making horsehair pottery is an ancient process, which has been updated for modern kilns, ceramics and pottery. The pieces are fired at low temperature (not to exceed 1700 degrees Fahrenheit) and the kiln is shut off and allowed to cool to approximately 1050 degrees Fahrenheit. The pieces are removed from the kiln one at a time and strands of horsehair are dropped on the hot piece. The horsehair burns off and leaves the distinctive lines. The smoke from the burning horsehair also leaves distinctive shading on the glaze. Because of the single piece at a time process and the fact that the horsehair is placed on each piece by hand, no two pieces will ever be exactly alike. Feathers and sawdust are also sometimes used in this process. By Native American Artist Maria Zuni Plum
