I am really impressed............. and feel a little bit threatened. 
Guess I better get back to the studio. I have too many fricken plants and have not worked with clay for months.

sold some pots at the minnesota bonsai society auction a few weeks ago. the most overwhelming bit of feedback was bigger pots. i got this unit of a pachypodium lamerei at a private greenhouse sale recently, and wanted to take a crack at making something bigger
i slab built this over a pinched and bisque-fired mold. originally i had tried to attach two large slabs together to make this even bigger, but that was a failure. i reckon if i'd been patient and let the slabs set longer it would have worked, but they split at the seam basically as soon as i tried draping them over the mold lol. had i not been rushing, i would have textured the outside of the pot after applying the slips. feel like i'm starting to get the hang of refining/trimming the foot ring
it's about eight inches tall and 14 inches diameter currently drying slowly under plastic. appealing to the ceramics-powers-that-be to not get any cracks! going to have some choices to make when glazing!!
