Diving into pottery

[mwar15]

I think in pottery anyone can throw some clay together and call it a “bonsai pot,” but to do it well is a different story. I am not saying I am doing it well, but I keep trying to challenge myself to keep myself entertained. I have waited a few years to take on a bag pot. I have been talking with other artists that have been doing this for well for years. This is from a slab not on a wheel. This is my third try and each one gets better.

This design I have been thinking about for a while and finally went for it. I took it to the BSOP sale and no one wanted it so I’ll keep it. Finish with black iron oxide mixed very concentrated
