Time to switch it up a bit. In this thread I'll be posting containers that are not made off the wheel.

Here's one to start the thread.....

Thanks! Unfortunately this one took twice as long to make.

It's going to be a while before I fire back up the kiln. I want to jam pack the bisque firing so minimum 75+ pots.

Very nice as always pitoon! You certainly have a gift for making trees look good

Generally handbuilding is going to take longer than throwing. I can throw a mid size simple bowl shape in 5 minutes but making that bowl into a bonsai pot takes significantly longer. Handbuilding is a whole different animal when you aim for the clean lines your pots exhibit.

Hey!!!!!!

It's a trilogy!!!
Now we know most great movies come is series of three... LOTR and the Hobbit, the original Star Wars, The Dark Knight, Blade, Back to the Future... maybe @Pitoon can take this one to Harry Potter level (Potter... get it? )

jokes aside, yes please! More of those.

I'm sure it will get a little faster. I just have to work out the little nuances.

Had to start another thread as this one is built by hand. Now I have threads for all my pots, lol

Hey! A nice masculine shohin pot! Compared to your other work, this one looks much heavier. How thick are the walls?

Thanks! Had to switch it up, need some variety to offer at the National show . Greenware as is upper lip about 1/2" and the walls 1/4". Cone 6 is 12% shrinkage while Cone 10 is 14%, so it will get smaller just a tad bit. I'm leaning toward firing this at Cone 10.

Look forward to it! Are you going to glaze it?

Yessir! I have a really nice Cone 10 glaze for it.
