Back in my "greenware--to post or not to post" thread, I added a link to my LPS (local pottery supply) and some of the clay they make and sell. BonsaiNut said... So, I bought some dark clay (called Oregon Brown), and made some simple pots.... here they are... rectangles with in-set feet...

Esty is a website for artists and craftsmen who make and sell handmade items. You can find practically anything, but I did a search and found a bunch of very nice bonsai pots. I believe you can also set up an account and sell handmade pots. check out the pots here, right now there are...

In my on-going attempt to learn to brush oxides on bisque and not create brush-marks, I tried applying the oxides brushing in alternate directions. I applied 4 coats, 2 horizontally, and 2 vertically on the exterior walls of the pots. I think this method may work, but as you can see from...

Call'm scoop pots, crescent pots, egg pots. (Does anybody know if there is a Japanese term for these pots?) Here's one I just got out of the kiln today. I make my bottoms different than most potters, I build a small platform, and then build a pot around it. The wiring holes are fore and...

On this thread I was curious about the finish on a pot JasonG owns. I thought the pot was colored using an oxide wash of crocus martis on greenware and fired once. So I made a small oval pot and gave it a crocus martis wash while green and fired it to cone 6 (no bisque). It has a very...

you don't need any fancy equipment to get started making pottery. A trip to Home Depot or other home improvement store is all that is required. And don't bring alot of money either, because the things you will need to make a nice slab will cost you less than 7 dollars. There are several ways...

I'm starting this thread for people who would like to share some of their tools, techniques, or pottery tips. I'll start off.... If joining together pieces requiring miter joints, buy one of these little tools. With practice it will cut near perfect miter joints for straight, flared sides or...

Dale Cochoy made a statement in another thread about his dislike when potters post pictures of their greenware. For those who are not potters, "greenware" is unfired, raw clay pots. As of today, after 2 years, this subforum has 27 threads. There are maybe 10 bonsai potters who regularly...

This was one of the very first plants I bought (at Home Depot no less). Now... I have come to understand that Alberta Spruce is a very bad choice to use as a bonsai for many reasons, but for some reason I've decided to keep this one. It would probably be a much better landscape shrub. I...

Yesterday, I was checking my crabapple. And looky what I found. Some insect layed a bunch of eggs. Not all insects are bad (ladybugs mantis etc), but I didn't take the chance. I gave them the "el-kabotski". A noted garden expert in my area (Ciscoe Morris) describes the "el-kabotski"...

Last year I became interested in bonsai after a visit to the Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection (I live very close to it). One particular Japanese Black Pine (and it's history) really captivated me and that's how I got hooked. I purchased this Home Depot, Mugo Pine for about 5 bucks. At the...

New fired pots out of the kiln today

I am a novice potter. I would like to show my latest work. Here is a pot that I made and was fired last week. The last image is a Mugo Pine that I bought last year and is currently in a pond basket. I am not very good making virts, but you can get the idea.
