I'm guessing this technique was discovered when some long haired Potter got too close to freshly burnt ceramics :)

Dear god I wish my city would let me build a kiln. I miss pottery so bad but I live in a fire prone area.

If it hasn’t happened yet, and it most likely has, someone is going to do this with pubes.

Meanwhile there’s a pissed-off bald-assed horse muttering, “Use your own hair, you hairless effin’ monkey!”

Can't use your own hair if you're hairless

I’m surprised at the negativity from so many. I think this post is outstanding. Interesting and beautiful. Oh well, to each his own

The organic patterns on white ceramic look kinda warframe-y.

So is he also using horsefeathers?

Horses don't have feathers. You can't trick me.

The first two were great, and the bowl at the end turned out better than I initially thought it would.

And another 350 USd earned by putting some horse hair on a hot pot

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

It's pretty, sure. But I also find that a bit gross. That was on a horses butt yesterday. Now it's burned into your flower vase forever.

High temperature (~1000 C) is surprising good at sterilizing things

Ok so they look just as shitty as the WIP ones in the gif. Disappointing.

They kinda looked interesting enough when I didn't know the process. Now it just looks like burnt hair and feathers to me thanks for this.

They said it was stunning. I waited the whole gif to be stunned. Instead I was stunningly disappointed

Forgive me for seeing this subjectively, but I don’t see the beauty in it... it just looks like someone drew squiggly lines then smudged it

8 years ago | Likes 151 Dislikes 15

Yeah, it's interesting, but it's ugly.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Agreed. I think it's just ugly.

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

I don't think it's cool either

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My thoughts exactly...

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 3

Most of them aren't nearly as smudgy, all of the ones I've seen are pretty clean and they get additional work done like painting and carving

It's a Japanese form, so it's not necessarily a traditional western thing, and thus not for everyone, I like it personally

Lol no, I did ceramics for several years

These are also bad examples of it, I have a wolf and horse sculpture like this and it makes them look more interesting, also a blue vase

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

I don't think that's a cultural thing, most people enjoy art from every culture. This is just very plain, I doubt every asian person digs it

8 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 3

The Japanese have an artistic culture based around simple imperfections, it's not their only artistic culture, and it certainly appeals 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 5

To others outside of Japan, but there is a historically Japanese aspect to it, and it is rooted in certain spiritual/philosophical ideas 2/3

8 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 3

That are relatively unique to Japan as well 3/3

It's imbalanced. One or two of these would likely be stunning when competed, but the others were uneven, poorly distributed.

Neat? Yes. Stunning? Naah.

I was really hoping I wasn’t going to be the first to say it haha

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I don't think it's finished either. There's probably a couple of steps afterward to finish it

8 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 0

Not really. A scrub to get rid of the crunchy bits, and MAYBE a clear wax or something. But that's it,

8 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 3

As neat as that was I was really looking forward to a shot of the finished product v

It's not actually that bad when it's a well ventilated area, I've done this before

8 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

I don't know. I have burnt my and other people's hair on their legs and it smells like a burnt pig. It lasts some time even in an open space

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I don't doubt it, but burning hair smell is like the sound of sliding styrofoam together... it doesn't take much for me.
