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.

That would be Lorraine Simpson........Bonsai Art stocks her pots.

Hi Pup,

Well I paid for mine - but I dont mind giving her a plug. I bought two pots and will get some trees in asap and post !

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

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

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.
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.

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

Pup · Post by **Pup** » May 15th, 2011, 12:51 pm

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

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.
