Hi All
Sneak preview of pots going to Canberra.
I encourage all the potters represented at the NBCA Bonsai Week to show their pots on this forum.
Cheers Marie

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.

Stunning pots Marie, wishing more & more I was heading down for the exhibit.

With regards "All" potters showing their work here, I know a few who are not members & if I am not mistaken, not all are permitted on the forum :whistle:

Pat, as it appears Marie is likewise not going to be in town for it, would be great if you could share pics of the display once set up and demo's etc during the week
Thanks
JJ

The look fantastic, Marie, good luck with sales at Bonsai Week!

Sorry I missed last month, I'm going to be missing this and next as well. Hope you're well, and look forward to catching up in May sometime! (Or maybe I'll drop down to Redlands.) :)

Hi J.J. and Ken,
I was trying to promote the NBCA Bonsai Week and the many talented Australian Potters who are participating.
Thought Ausbonsai was the way to go.
Thank you both for your comments.

Yes I agree too, Bonsai week is an excellent event to advance Bonsai in Australia, and I believe Ausbonsai is a great way to reach many people around australia that may not be otherwise able to participate.
Just that i know that unfortunately there are quite a few artists who unfortunately cannot participate online for many reasons, but still we would love to see their works posted to highlight the skills available to Bonsai i Australia.

Marie's pots are exquisite.. I own a lot of them. Each one is unique and beautiful.

Marie's and Pat's pots are so unique and the best quality. If you don't own a lot of them, you really need to get in touch with both of them.

I have a similar one to each of Marie's pots above and I assure you the pictures don't do them justice.
The texture of all of them is so unique. Marie can post the pots to you as well.

Just like Pats pots I can't pick a favourite, but Marie can email you pictures of so many different styles and textures she does.
I have never been disappointed in anything she has made for me. I love the big pots she does, but lately Steven has got me more into liking Shohin size, and Marie also does fantastic shohin and small pots etc etc.

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

Hi Mel good to hear from you,
This is actually a display to show the work of Australian Potters, not a selling venue.
Thanks for comments.
Cheers

Good for you putting your work into the display, then, Marie! I'm sure you'll get an even bigger following. :)

Hi Everyone

Due to contractual arrangements that the Arboretum has with "The Curatoreum" gift shop, no sales of any product can occur by third parties.
However, The Curatoreum has offered any potter a facility to sell their pots through their shop.
PK has details of these arrangements to pass on to any potters who may be interested.

The NBPCA will also accept donations of pots, some of which may be up for auction at the Gala Cocktail Event on the Friday night.

Cheers
Leigh
