It is a training of patience. You make awesome bonsai pots, do you also grow bonsai trees?

yes, in the beginning I started pottery for my own trees... But ironically, pottery takes up so much of my time that I have neglected my trees a lot!

@@Greg-ceramics it does take a lot of time for sure. I'd love to see how you matched the pot with your tree at some point if you'd like to share it. It would add another great layer to your videos, most bonsai artists have to rely on other's creativity and find the best match for their tree and here you can make it just the way you want. That is so cool!
Dope sounds, thanks for all the lessons. I can't wait to show you my attempt at your bamboo pot

Great, can't wait to see this!
Excellent work! Did you wait until the pot was completely dry to start carving? Looks like it is well beyond leather hard.

on this pot I started before the pot was completely dry (between dry and leather), but you can also do it when the pot is dry.
Why is my porcelain clay so hard almost impossible to carve once its dried?? Everywhere i see it on the internet, ppl are able to use their tools to carve through it so easily

It's strange. Even though porcelain is a little harder, you should still be able to sculpt it with sharp tools. Perhaps it is a particular variety of porcelain? Maybe you should just use another clay for sculpting

@@Greg-ceramics it's an air dry porcelain clay that I use. It becomes so damn hard to penetrate through with my knive tools. Which ones do you/people use?

ah ok, it's an "air-dry" clay... that means that when it's dry, it's in its final form, that is to say hard. It's not really porcelain then (porcelain must fire at 1300°C). Most of the clays you see engraved are high temperature firing clays, when they dry they are still crumbly.
