This piece is made from a white low-fired clay from New Mexico. It contains naturally occurring mica, which appears in the fired piece as gold flakes. This ceremony dish is designed for all of your rituals. Burn sage, palo santo, incense, and any other herbs that support your ceremonial needs.
Pit firing is the most ancient form of pottery firing. Each piece from this collection has undergone multiple phases to reach completion. This piece has been burnished on the inside, a process that involves rubbing a gemstone over the entire piece to create a smooth surface, and has been texturized on the outer surface with a stone. The pieces were covered in various combustible materials, including horse hair, hay, dried leaves, coffee grounds, and sugar, resulting in a range of unique grey and black tones. They were then wrapped tightly in foil to hold the combustibles to the surface of the pot, creating an oxygen-reducing atmosphere.
The firing process takes place in an open pit for a few hours, then cools for a day. Once they have reached room temperature, the vessels are cleaned and polished to provide a sheen that enhances and seals in the colors.
