Thanks

JJ, I imagine I'll be taking photos each day and posting every night.

But nothing beats being there and seeing the pots and potters in the flesh, so to speak :?

Always a class act, Pat. Now get off your backside and start wood-firing.

If only Gavin.....
I once thought I'd convinced the Tumut Potters into going down that route but it all came to nought.

Hi all,
This entry is a little late (smack fingers) busy lady.
The Potters Display during the NPBCA Bonsai Week, was a great success. 15 very different talented Potters, showcased their work, and I'm sure enlightened the Bonsai community that there are alternatives to the mas production pots from overseas.
A thank you needs to go to Leigh, Pat, the displaying Potters and the demonstrating Potters for organising and the work put into the display, to make it such a success.
On a personal note, I was delighted to find out 2 of my pots from the display are now in Tony Ticklers collection, along with 2 of Pat Kennedys pots. Sorry don't have photos of Pats pots.
Looking forward to next year, but for now its full steam ahead making pots for the AABC Conference in Brisbane.
Cheers
Marie
