My latest pot pre-glazing. My skills are progressing.

Nothing exceptional here, just the first pot of 2026. And yes… I had to stop and think twice before signing the date 😅

15 kg of wet clay — I think I should be allowed to write off my gym membership as a business expense! 😅

With this kind of texture, the glaze choice will be crucial… even though I have absolutely no idea which one I’ll use yet!

There’s nothing quite like the joy of seeing my pots paired with such beautiful bonsai in a top-level exhibition.

More bonsai pots... the rectangular one got warped quite a lot in the firing, but can at least stand straight after some grinding.
I tried different clay on this batch, but prefer the dark one from the previous

I finally managed to fire some new bonsai pots. Trying different clay and glazes

A round bowl-shaped stoneware pot made of brownish black clay. The exterior has a strip of densely combed swishing patterns carved in to it. Above and below this strip, the remaining clay has been trimmed back smooth, and it is upon this smooth surface that a metallic grey glaze has been applied.

Part of my exploration has pushed me toward playing with texture as a contrast to the limited colour palettes that do work with this clay.
I'm lucky the two other pieces I picked up today also worked out well!

Here are some of the porcelain bonsai pots. I have to figure out a better way to support them in the firing, because they got deformed around the feet (making them look more triangular than round)

I'm trying to learn (slab) handbuilding. I feel soo clumsy :) it took me several hours and I still don't like the result.
But it's time to move to a new one and do better...

Surprised at the microcrystal concentration on this post, considering how heavily textured it is. #Maycoglazes micro cerulean over Micro Ash over #plainsmanclay m340.

The rutile brown tones from #Maycoglazes Stoned Denim dropped out mostly when applied over Green Opal as a base (all on #plainsmanclay m340). I quite like this - brightens things up and calls out for spring.

This created a much more uniform glaze than expected. Microcrystals for Mayco Micro Pearl completely dropped out over Spectrum green opal 😞
Not a bad look nonetheless, but not what I expected.

wip. Some bonsai pots getting ready to be fired. Porcelain and dark stoneware.
I will probably try to paint some decoration on those porcelain pots but have almost zero experience with that

Playing a bit more with double-walled vessel carving. Again not sure how I feel of the form within the context of bonsai.
The base wall structure could lend itself more towards natural shapes though.
#bonsaipottery #bonsai #pottery #workinprogress
To say I feel low today after a number of personal failures then finding that a fairly large pot emerged from bisque fire with a sizable crack... Is maybe a bit of an understatement.

A bit of experimentation. Aesthetically, not sure if I like it, but glad to try. Definitely thinking about other designs for the same type of build, but it'll need to be worth the time.
Non-traditional. Would something like this interest you?

My favorite from the last firing (±20cm - 7.9").
I'm probably not very objective—my judgment is likely biased by the time I spent on this one! ^^

Many people think glazing is like painting, but it’s actually chemistry... Sometimes yellow stays yellow, and sometimes yellow turns blue!
(Not available for delivery at the moment, will be at the Trophy in February)
