Melbourne Potter
Hi,
I picked up a couple of pots from Bonsai Art in Melbourne, they were hand made by a local artist. I forgot to ask the name of the potter. Can anyone tell me who it might be?
Thanks.

Re: Melbourne Potter
Hi Pup,

Wish I had more money on me to tell you the truth.

Re: Melbourne Potter
hi Leigh, thanks for the nice comments on my pots. I have been a potter for 20 years. When I joined the Mornington Peninsula Bonsai Society around 5 years ago I made some bonsai pots for a trial and have been making them since. Regards, Lorraine

Re: Melbourne Potter
Nice to see you here Lorraine. I have been trying to sell your pots. Next weekend they will get a big plug when I do my PowerPoint.4arainyday wrote:hi Leigh, thanks for the nice comments on my pots.

As pots feature a fair bit and Local or as it should be Australian potters getting a big Plug from me.
I hope your trees are faring well with all the inclement weather you have been getting.
Cheers Pup, stay out of the cold, and keep warm.

Re: Melbourne Potter
Careful Leigh, I still remember the last time you promoted a pot with a tree in it



It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: Melbourne Potter
Here is the pot Lorraine gave me when we were at the Mornington peninsular Bonsai Society last April.
With the tree then and today. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Cheers Pup

Re: Melbourne Potter
OK - here is a rushed photo of one of the pots I picked up last August! I hope to get some more either this August, or next May.
Apologies for the inferior image.
