Love the 1st one! engobe?

Thanks Paul, I thought the rim was a bit to skimpy, and you confirmed it. 4"x1" deep 3.5"x1" deep

When I was 1st asked to make a bonsai pot I went to a local club sale to look and feel their pottery, very different from the cactus and succulent containers I was accustomed to. Pots were subtle, both in shape and color. I've been to various shows to examine plant/pot combinations and I still...

I like the rusty white interior of the pot 4, I'm guessing it's due to the thinner application and a bit of crawling. The cracked square is a beauty.

Paul, Pots look great, like the shape of #2 best. What are you using for lights and their position? Could also be the white balance within the camera producing the off color, shutter speed can also effect this. I use Day Light Color Fluorescent bulbs with the camera's white balance on...

Love that burnt yellow on #4. The last 2 pots, the 1st one looks off white (probabaly due to lighting), the 2nd has a slight yellow tinge to it. Pots themselves are too perfect looking for me ;o)

Repulsive in deed...in a good way... Here's one I trimmed a bottom rim

Hahaha... Very pleased with this experimental texturing, 8" bowl

Appreciate the the feed back guys...although I'm still trying to decipher klytus';) An attempt to make a scoop, both are a 5" diameter

A few pots from this weekend's firing, top 3 were experiments...what do you think?

That oxide engobe is nice, love that matte sheen I haven't made many but big pots do sell, if someone has something to put in it they'll pay. For now large containers are by commission unless I making them for myself.

Thanks gary. I've done that, welded a pot to the shelves a few times. Even in a controlled electric enviroment (what I use), too thick of an application or too hot and the glaze runs. Ahhh...to have a pug mill...one day...I've tried mixing my own clay body as well, even small amounts (less...

I refired a few pots last week using cone 10 clay. Did the normal bisque, then stained and fired to cone 5, glazed and took it to cone 8. The reason I fired twice is I didn't want the stain to bleed into the glaze.The problem with refiring is the glaze doesn't want to adhere to the partially...

10" oval 12" round

I'm in Fairfield. Don't have a studio just a small spot in my backyard.

Hey Bill, Thanks! Susan and I are good friends, attended one of her workshops here in 2001 and have been friends ever since. She has an awesome collection of bonsai'd succulents. Something about C&S that attracts us... Klytus, You are correct, it is Tephrocactus geometricus from Bolivia. This...

rockm, Thanks for the description for drainage, the last batch of pots I added holes closer to the walls. and here's the best of show plant in my 22" wide pot

rockm, Thank you for the input, helps greatly when making bonsai containers. I like the drainage remarks especially, was not aware of that. The pot you speak of is not for a tree, it's for a cactus. It was made to the client's specifications, the plant is wide (20") and narrow (10")...

A couple of ovals, the 1st is 12.5" wide, the other is 7.5"

My faves are 564 and 567 Didn't know there was grades of silicate, I adjust the thickness of application to get different results.

Not sure if I'll be able to make it to Tako, looks like a cool event from the pdf. I will be going to Fresno in June for a talk at the C&S club. Fired these yesterday, my 4 faves out of the load
