Some more samples from latest kiln firing, some glazes this time. Still some refining to do but getting there!

First 2 are my favourites!

I like the 1st and 3rd. I've never been a fan of shiny pots for Australian natives. Prefer the rugged look of a more natural earthy feel. Like what Pat Kennedy and Janet Selby do a lot of. Joann has done some nice ones too recently. She'll be able to presumably sell these now. Tell her, nice job.

I think these pots are beautiful. Excellent work.
I would definitely buy some of these.

Well done jason's mum

I love the fact that we all do such different works.

Very nice pots, particularly #1,2,&3
good onya mum

Ken

love 'em

Thanks for the positive feedback guys

Marg Fenn is the potter. If anyone is interested there are a few of these pots on the shelf at Bonsai Sensation currently(except the second one pictured, which I kept for myself! ). I think she was still intending these to just be glaze tests - but if someone likes them enough to put a tree in them then she is happy to make them available.

Hi jase
2 pots were sold straight after u left. So keep them coming.

Must be time for another trip to Tien's. Very nice pots, looking great. Be more than happy to have a couple of these on my benches.

Good to hear Tien - I'll get the whip out

Good stuff. Do you take order for Sydneysider? What size pots are they?

I have been looking for local produced bonsai pots as i don't like the quality in the made in china pots. All the glazed pots are excellent

I have some serious love for these pots... especially the 'feet'.

Well done indeed.

Some very nice work there. Is it possible to make the unglazed pots darker in colour?

Hi Subie, these are all smaller pots (~140mm), she was testing glazes so didn't want to make larger pots just yet until she was confident the glazes would be ok. Next firing should have some larger sizes I think. She has some unglazed ones in slightly larger sizes available at Bonsai Sensation.

Not sure if Tien does mail order? I hope to put some for sale online from the next kiln firing for those that cant get to Bonsai Sensation to buy them in person.

She's trying! Its apparently very hard to get suitable clay here like they have in Japan and China for more traditional styled unglazed pots. It's taking some experimentation to work it out using what's available. She's not quite there yet but hopefully soon - Tien and John are providing some very good feedback in trying to develop the unglazed pots. I've even dug some natural clay from my property in West Gippsland to try?!

Hi

It is appropriate to get an idea of how much these pots are?
I apologize for being naive, but is it possible to make direct orders from the maker or you must go through Bonsai Sensation or are they one and the same?
