Re: Marg Fenn pots
A high-calcium glaze with 10% rutile and a few % iron can give a good mottled cream/buff glaze, as I recollect. That's around 1280 degC. Green glazes tend to clash with green leaves, but there are some high-calcium mottled copper glazes that can work because they have lots of different tones in them. Have fun!

Re: Marg Fenn pots
10% rutile in the current glazes( high calcium) I am making gives a more pumpkin colour. I will post a photo in a couple of days, when I finish the pots I am making for the bonsai sale on the Sunshine coast. Pat I have yet to try ash glazes, because I can't get a reliable supply of ash. I will have to look around.

I think your in the wrong game Gavin, if filthy rich is your goal luckily mum feels rich if she covers costs and can still afford a good cup of coffee!GavinG wrote:There already Pat, it's filthy rich that I'm hoping for. Ah well.

Re: Marg Fenn pots
A good cup of coffee is worth a King's ransom I'm told.
Don't know why, as every caff seems to have more trouble brewing a decent pot-of-tea than a cappuccino

Re: Marg Fenn pots
That would make a great pizza oven
JaseH, does Marg do custom orders at all? ie, certain size or shape? I am struggling to find new pots that I like for a few of my bonsais

Re: Marg Fenn pots
Hi HarryBek, at the moment she wont do custom orders sorry. Mainly as she's still nutting things out as far as glazes, clays, pot styles etc. At some stage in the future I'm sure she'll be up for it but its a bit hard at the moment.HarryBek wrote:That would make a great pizza oven

But having said that, if you like something she has already produced(glaze/style) but want it in a specific size she may be able to help out?

Re: Marg Fenn pots
I had a crack at producing a rectangle pot using the same techniques I saw them use in Tokoname - mum cant do these on the wheel so why not!?
260mm x 180mm x 65mm
All credit for the glaze goes to mum though!
