Hi!
I make an air-tight shape to begin with and start shaping my pot from there.
Trapped air gives you a chance to work without loosing the shape of your clay.
In this tutorial I show you one way to make a basic shape Bonsai Pot with a new approach to making the rim.
The glazing didn't go as I planned, but the result is still nice.
The clay is a stoneware clay. I burn it first in a bisque fire (800degrees C)
and after that in 1200 degrees C.
If you have any questions or comments, please drop me a line! I appreciate it!
Cheers from Finland!
Mika
