    Bigger Kiln, Bigger pots-- New challenges and progress.

    Great post! How do you flip large pots. Even 2 pieces of foam board and a 26” pot is tough on arms.

    Diving into pottery

    I think in pottery anyone can throw some clay together and call it a “bonsai pot,” but to do it well is a different story. I am not saying I am doing it well, but I keep trying to challenge myself to keep myself entertained. I have waited a few years to take on a bag pot. I have been talking...

    Mwar15 6 Year JBP Entry

    #2- it really isn’t interesting, I didn’t repot this year. I probably will take one of the lowest buds and make that the new sacrifice and grow the tree off it. Or keep it small and throw it over a rock in a couple years

    JBP progression

    This tree has slowly declined. I believe it was due to lack of vigor due to never letting it grow to gain energy, constantly candle pruning and poor soil. I made the decision to repot it in straight pumice in a pot that is a little larger than what it was in. There was minimal roots and lots of...

    Collected hawthorn

    Had some dieback. They have been neglected in my grow area but hopefully I can give them more attention now. Not sure if they will last, I don’t like the lack of taper and don’t really want to invest in growing the taper.

    I have been working with a red clay and this one I didn’t bisque fire, I went straight to cone 5. I am not sure if it’s the firing or the light burnishing. But I love the darkness the kiln left

    Western Juniper // Design Ideas help

    Looks happy and healthy. You can always cut branches but you can’t add branches. I would start by cutting a branch and leaving it long and make it a Jin instead of cutting it all off at once.

    Some of those rectangles can you post photos of the bottom. I’m fascinated with the incorporated feet. Great pots!

    Grafting theoretical question for tighter bends

    Some of it is the natural flow, think if the flow was going up and take a slight angle compared to a 180 degree turn. I think with solid technique and after care it is doable. I have done it with JBP.

    Shohin pots(2) for sale

    No problem. I use mason stains and pigments I make to get the matte color. I use a variety of tools to create the texture when the clay is leather hard. The whole pot is “glazed”, but it is matte and not the gloss like many traditional “glazed”
