Progress on my cascade pot. I decided to go with the taiko nails because you rarely see them on a cascade pot. Size is 9” tall and 8” across.
My first pot from ceramics class

Gsquared- You seem to have a gift in the art of bonsai pot making. These are really nice.

Out of the fire...
I was waiting all afternoon for the studio tech to unload the kiln. Yes, they were still warm when I picked them up — for real.
Sizes: green 8.5”. Brown temmoku 9”. Things shrink about 10% when fired to come 10

Yes, all are slab built.
I’ve been looking in to making a press mold for a general oval and rectangle. That’s the way most Japanese pots are made, that or cast. These are all slabs, which is the other traditional method. I don’t think that Japanese potters use the wheel as much as westerners do.

Let me get a little further along and I’d love to talk about it. Want to hone my skills a little more.
They look nice, I like the sharpness of the rectangle, maybe I’m wrong about the size but the drainage hole feels a little small. Especially if there is only one , I assume the smaller ones are ty down holes? Can function as some drainage hole too but small holes can get clogged up easily.

Yeah, drain holes are a little smaller than they should have been, but live and learn. I got a very small cookie cutter about the size of a quarter that I am using on my more recent pots.
