Adventure into the avant-garde

Here’s the tentative replacement. 7/16” wall thickness.

It must have dunted with a hairline crack that finally split from the root mass? Nice pots!

Well it seems I have an affection for duct tape. Still trying to figure this one out. My current theory that it was too thin to tolerate the aggressive root growth. I noticed late summer, so freezing had nothing to do with it. Fired to ^8

I do love that shape, it's very elegant.

Easy come, easy go! Failure is the mothers milk of education......or was that repetition? Oh well.....its all good.

I've bought a couple of David's pots (ABCarve) his prices are really quite reasonable, in line with other potters. His comment is more likely because he does not want to go back and forth over a couple dollars. The price is the price. I love his pots. One is a nice blue cascade with lots of texture. My wisteria is in it.

Agreed, what a pot to lose....
Its one of those, "ain't that just my luck?!", situations.

 

[Carol 83]

I love his pots.

Me too. I just have one, for now....

So this pot didn't show up on the "pots for sale thread". hmmmmm??? @Carol 83 This is the same glaze that is on the pot you recently bought.....different clay body. Getting ready for the big show May 5th in my backyard. I made this one with a duct tape repellent in the glaze....what could possibly go wrong?

 

[TinyArt]

SWEET! Love those buttressed feet, that beveled lip, and how the glaze -- YEAH.

Woooww

Beyond words.
I want it but know I can't have it.

Well three years and three pots broke. I checked this pot for dunts and it was just fine. It also had an extra thick walls. I've come to the conclusion that its my growing method and not defective pots. It sits in a tray of water about 2 inches deep. It will suck that up before noon. I've read that they can become so root bound that the only way to get water in is through the bottom. This however is not that root bound but it does promote vigorous growth........apparently too much. Anybody else have experience with this? Any insights?

 

[NaoTK]

Is your clay custom?

 

[penumbra]

I would look really hard at the clay bottom before condemning my growing methods.

This is pretty hilarious.

Your tree is just too swole.
