Here's a chop for Sam Miller while I'm at it. I can't seem to pass too many of his pots by.

Even better! I just got permission from him to publish his pictures 5 minutes ago. Nice!

And Randy Davis.

Dan Lexdall is another potter I recently heard of. I think he's out of CA, might be a small volume potter exclusively through Josef Addis

You're reading my mind... I was about to reach out to Joe about Dan and some other potters I've seen him promote on Facebook auctions.

Anyone got a Sonny Boggs signature they could donate to the cause?

Also Lynn August??

Guy Vitale · Jan 8, 2017

Lynn August coming right up. This one might not be very good, it was hard to take. I've got a tree in it. I can't quite make out the proper orientation.

Looks good to me! If I come across a better one then I'll replace it.

I ran into a potter this summer. Stone Garden Pottert, LLC. Mark and Becky Hanner out of Otisville MI. They make a real beautiful sophisticated pot that rings like a bell.

Here are three images of the tree I put into one of their pots this fall. It is a my $1.98 Mugo I originally entered into an INTENET centers many years ago. This tree has become one of my favorites and I would not throw it into and inferior pot.

Thanks Vance, I was tying to recall them, I have their card somewhere. Are they the couple that vended at our show this past year?

Side note, I understand that Larry Howard moved south somewhere, in the Carolinas I believe, do you know if he's still making pots. I liked some of his work.

Thanks @Vance Wood! You mind if I use the picture for the website?

I'm also considering contacting the Kennett Collection to see if I can obtain the names of the potters considered for the 3rd National Juried Bonsai Pot Exhibition. Apparently 52 potters were considered for the exhibition and it would be awesome to if I could get those names. I understand there could be privacy issues with them releasing the names, but i figured it's worth a try.

Similarly, I plan to contact Deborah Bedwell who is the President of the National Council on Education in the Ceramic Arts. She was also a juror in the exhibition.

A note to those submitting pictures to me: if you're submitting pictures for the website and would like photo credit, please let me know how you'd like me to do it. You can either PM me your real name, I can use your forum name (or any other you'd like). If you don't care, then I can leave off the photo credit. Thanks!

Yes you can use my photos for you web site. As far as the potter??? Why should someone object to having their pots displayed for all to see? I assure you they are wonderful pots.

I'm chugging along with the website! Anyone got a Max Braverman signature? I know he had a few variations and I'm looking for them all if any of you have them handy. Thanks everyone - you all have been great help so far!

You can add Peter Liekkio to the list. Don't see much of him but he has some very cool and unique pots.
