i'm interested in trying to make my own pots for fun mostly, see how it turns out. but i have no access to pottery clay and a kiln so i was wondering if there are any practical alternatives?
one thing that jumps to mind is car body filler (i expect the bonsai purists are throwing up at this point) but its easy to work around a mold, strong as rock and can be finished to steel like smoothness
of course it would not look very pretty in natural pink finish but maybe something could be used to coat it, epoxy paint or something? but how would you simulated a glazed look?
anyhow, just thinking, has anyone every tried an alternative to fired clay?
