AusBonsai

I have been trying to learn how to make bonsai pots for a little while now but there was a long hiatus during the Corona "lock down". The good news (for me) is that there are a few out of the kiln this week and I'm going to give myself a small wrap - they are getting a little better. OK they are not great but I am still an apprentice. As you can see from the photos it was raining while I was taking the photos.
I would appreciate your views.

I think job well done, I like them both, love the glaze. Are you recording the glazes that you use? Always a good idea.

You're definitely onto something there Watto. That last one is great, love the colours.

Looking good Watto, keep up the hard work!

For a beginner they look pretty damn good. That's given me food for thought, I may have to look at joining a pottery group and start making them.

Kirky, my teacher keeps meticulous records, which is good for me as I'm a bit slack in the record keeping area.

Nice ! 83 ? Looking forward to when you go commercial .

One day in the near future i can see people rushing to the Goulburn show in the hope of picking up a Watto pot. True story. Chees John.

And then arriving home for their partner to exclaim:

“What?! You’ve got a Watto!”

Sorry - a’dad joke on a Saturday morning.

Makes me think .... It’s like arriving home from a local show after purchasing one of John’s trees. Excitedly charging through the front door, stoked with your purchase and shouting: “Boom!”

Or picking up one of Craig’s trees and lamenting the complexities of climate change: “Sno ...not snow”
.....

Ok I’ll stop now - Cleary I need to go back to bed, it’s too early for such mirth!

Nice work Watto!

Thank you all, it gives to confidence to make a few more, although I think I would be too embarrassed to sell them.

Simple - clean lines - unpretentious - PERFECT.
P.S. Love your glazes. Keep going.

Embarrassed rubbish, you keep making them, take them with you to shows let buyers judge. Everyone looks for that special pot not all pots need to be perfect to your eyes. Sometimes a quirky tree needs just that a quirky pot. Keep up the good work.

Thank you again, very kind words. There are a couple more pots on my blog if you are interested.

These are fantastic Watto.
There is nothing more beautiful than something created by hand, with love.
Imperfections become marks of beauty.
