Hi, friends. My wife and I recently started pottery classes together, but instead of bowls and mugs, I’ve been making bonsai pots! I’m super happy with how they’ve come out so I’m sharing some pics below.
The first one I made was this flared round with white glaze.
My second pot was this shallow round with green glaze. It came out a bit more shallow than I intended. Things shrink in the kiln! But it will be cool for a moss mound with some grasses as an accent. Or maybe a small tropical literati?
And my latest pot is the one I like the most— a two tone round with an earthy glaze.
All these pots have been on a wheel with maybe one pound or a half pound of clay. I wanna try a bigger pot next time. I also wanna try slab building some other shapes like rectangles and ovals. The pottery studio I’ve been going to also makes trips to a wood fire kiln that I’d love to be a part of someday.
Starting to vertically integrate every part of the bonsai hobby.
