Hi Aaron.
Regarding your glazing, the first rule is -
WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN IN THE ORDER YOU DID IT!
The second rule is -
Write everything down in the order you did it.
Keep up the good work and always experiment.
Penny.

If you can get up this way, and after visiting Pat, come and have a one-on-one workshop here. I encourage anyone who is willing to get in and have a go.

Just let me know a little ahead of time and I'll organize a bonsai tour of some members' collections (and make some pots).

Here is a photo of one of the first pots Arron made. He tried several glazes over each other, some that should not have been compatable. All the glazes he tried worked really well and I later tried to recreate one of the glazes, but could not even get close.
It goes to show that knowing theoretically how to do something does not mean you can achieve it.
Glad to see you are still potting.
Rick said you may be coming up to Bonsai by the Harbour.
I am doing a demo on how to make a hand built cracked pot.

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.
