Talking Bonsai Pots

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Dan discusses some of his recent (summer 2022) Bonsai Pot creations and includes explanations about glaze and kiln mishaps as well as tree suitability for different pot/glaze types and also about the criteria he uses when pricing his pots.
This informative and educational video should appeal to both Bonsai aficionados and Potters/Ceramicists alike.

    Oh wow Dan, very nice pots. And I like the video also. Would happily watch many more like this (Subscribed) In my Bonsai journey I’m getting to the point where I’m looking just as much at the pot. Haahaha, however I don’t have very many pots that would get more than a passing glance. So, I’ve got some shopping to do. Haahaha.

    Dan try using silver sand on your kiln shelves instead of batt wash. It allows the pot to move much more easier when it expands and contracts during the firing. I have used it for over 15 odd years now with great success
