Shout out for Vicki Chamberlain, American potter

[BrianBay9]

I was unaware of Vicki Chamberlain until this year. Maybe everyone else already knows her, but I picked up a couple of her pots at the Santa Nella event in October, and then met her at her booth at the Pacific Expo today. Check out her pots here https://earthwares.org/galleries/ High quality, great style at very reasonable prices. Many of her pots remind me of my Sarah Rayner pots. Others are definitely Chamberlain unique. Buy soon 'cause I'm sure her prices will go up as her recognition grows.

I think she is calling it quits soon…

What makes you say that?

I thought I heard from some club members in southern Oregon she was retiring from making bonsai pots.

Indeed? Curiosity overwhelms here as well. Inquiring minds need enlightenment please.

That would be a shame

In chatting with her about visiting her studio and hearing others chatting with her, I did not get that vibe, but, who knows.

Her pots are fantastic. Bob Shimon of Mendocino Coast Bonsai has been selling her pots for a long time. I think they are on par with Sara Raynor but are way more affordable. I've got a Boxwood in one of her pots.

She participated in a ceramics discussion with three other ceramicists today at PBE and really did not sound like she was going to stop making bonsai pots.
