At BSF The last few years there have been one or two new potters items either for sale by them, or commissioned to others.
I've been seeing that pretty common at most shows.
I note this year at MidA there are two more potters selling than last year , a total of 5 now,
plus other vendors selling pots commissioned or sold to them, plus, the chinese pot importers.
I see 3 potters at the PBA show, plus importers, etc.
Pretty soon there won't be any trees for sale, just potters.
I'm looking forward to the next run of 6 mo. noobs getting into bonsai to sell imported cheap trees and Joshua Roth tools again to get the vending areas back to being rounded out!
I'm following you guys posts pretty closely. I seem to have upset Boondock somewhere?
and I can see many reasons why not to post wet pot after wet pot. It's simple....they aren't pots yet!
It is going to be interesting to see what happens with the 'free flow' of ideas, techniques and secrets once you all start selling! I already, after only a couple weeks, see you guys copying each others ideas. It's prety obvious that most of the new potters here do it for kicks and as a 'supliment' but it will be interesting to see how it goes when you all want to sell and you are all doing the same thing and posting them on the same boards.
Good luck at BSF, I hope the crowds improve this year over last and that the change in months won't effect the Florida crowd.
