Hi Bonsailov,
May well be made from paper clay, I have used it and the results after firing resembled egg carton consistency.

If you want some REALLY nice pots, then Erin Bonsai has some awesome ones. Made in the UK, but worth the shipping...

Re: Good pots?
Paper clay is used all the time, it lightens the weight of the piece . there is nothing wrong with it , as long as it is fired to the correct temperature.

Hi Joannm, What temps are we talking about for Paper Clay? I'd always assumed paper clay was similar to earthenware but have never used it.joannm wrote:Paper clay is used all the time, it lightens the weight of the piece . there is nothing wrong with it , as long as it is fired to the correct temperature.

Penny Davis from Mudlark Pottery (Hunter Valley) will ship (and packs extremely well). Sometimes advertises here abouts using the handle MudlarkpotteryDamian79 wrote:Can anyone recomend a good online pot shop. I have zero availability where I live.
If you lurk in Pots, Benches, and Stands you will find that there are a number of potters on the forum who sell their wares (eg. Happy Potter
Finally, while I'm not from SA, I'd be shocked if there wasn't a bonsai nursery with an online presence there.
In WA there's Peter Odin's Bonsai Emporium fer example

It might be a little while until kelvin gets things to where he wants them to be , but it's going to be good , do a google search on bonsai mujo his website is up and running
