Custom (Hybrid Organic Slab) pots for order

[mwar15]

I have finally got caught up on pots. I’ve discovered the style of pot for somebody that doesn’t want a slab and doesn’t want a traditional pot. It’s somewhere in between. The pots below are somewhat of an example. I can do any shape or size of the footprint. I can go different heights on the wall or thickness. A couple I’ve made have been for group plantings or forests. An individual can cut a piece of cardboard out for the shape they want or draw it with the rough dimensions and then I made the pot.

shoot me a Pm if interested.

This is a very cool idea!

material? clay? cementitious? plastic? fiberglass? resin?

freeze resistance?

if there is an organic, like paper or peat, is it water absorbing, or has it been coated to be water proof?

My questions mostly feed into questioning strength, and freeze thaw resistance. Where I live, slabs for outdoor use must be impervious to water or freeze thaw cycles will break the pot down..

Second, what is the maximum practical length you can make.

I will PM you. But I will give details. The name is meant as appearance only. I use a clay that is very groggy and lots of grit. It was created to be used for outdoor tiles. My pots are fired to cone 6. It is held at that temp for a few hours.

As far as fteeze thaw and the pots cracking. I haven’t had problems with any of my pots. But, we don’t have as intense winters as other parts of the country.

I can do 22-24” wide and 15-20” long. This is a rough general size, depending on the exact size and the kiln shape.

THanks, I'll PM you

I like these a lot and have trees that would look good in them! What is the price range for the larger sizes you can make? I don't want to waste your time if I can't afford them. Thanks!

This one in just finished

Busted these out this afternoon

A couple more out of the kiln. They have slight cracks. But if someone wants them let me know if not they get trees put in them.

this is the large one I made with the forest inside it

How tall can you make the sides...like a regular pot?
