jamie,
The crackle pot would be $40us

Lynette,
I keep trying different things to keep it fresh, do one technique till I get bored with it then move to the next

I have been practicing my ovals, these are 4" in diameter

Nice kitoi are you getting bored with the crack pots yet? Had the first day of Pottery club today so I guess it will be time to get back on the wheel soon but You haven't heard that before

I like the first one here Kitoi Very nice. the second I am not to enamoured with sorry

Bretts,
As long as I can do something slightly different each time I won't get bored with crackpots. I do make a few "normal" bonsai pots I just like doing things out of the mainstream.

Ken,
I'm not too thrill with the 2nd one either, just wanted to see what black clay and white glaze would look like.

hey kitoi

I'm not too thrill with the 2nd one either, just wanted to see what black clay and white glaze would look like.

if that is the case i am quite willing to releive you of the stress of having to look at that pot, i reckon it is great! i might even have a tree that would suit it


jamie

I'm with Jamie i wouldn't mind one in my collection. The wood cracked look is fantastic

Appreciate it Chris, ant and Jamie

Your wish is my command...still green in the photo, it will be complete on Friday and be shipped to Massachusetts on Monday. I'll get a photo before I box it up.

are all the pots you make commisioned? if i had trees worthy of such pots i would get some, maybe soon

This is the first time I have seen this thread. Seriously beautiful pots Kitoi. Do you feel like emigrating down under ?. Are you putting in plenty of little holes to tie the trees in thats the thing I like about good quality Japanese pots plenty of options.

Jamie,
About 1/3 to 1/2 the pots I make are for my collection the rest get sold. I've been averaging 2-3 commissions a month, mostly big stuff. The one I'm working now will be 53cm wide oval x 6cm deep. On Monday I'll pick up two trees, make pots for them and stage for this lady.

Craig,
I do put wire holes in the shallower pots, some times in deeper ones but not usually
