I would appreciate your feedback

hi mate

Jamie, is Graeme correct in this assessment?

without blowing Graeme's horn in any way he couldnt be closer to the truth he has cuttings with more potential than me


love the last dark red ones, not so much a fan of the second lot you put up, they arent my cup of tea, but can appreciate the work that goes into em

jamie

Thanks for that Jamie. It is always good to be acknowledged by ones peers.
And especially one with such an appreciation for great quality pots. The quality of your pots continues to greatness Paul. Might have to have one in my "Lounge Collection" of collectable pots.

Hmmm how did he do that?? clever, and just a bit devious

[pjkatich]

these last ones are really nice
Dull looking like an unglazed finished. Nice

Thanks Ken, that was exactly what I was hoping to hear.

I've been trying for quite some time to reproduce that unglazed look that you get with a good quality Japanese pot. The commercial clay bodies I have available in my area are not well suited for this type of presentation.

Cheers,
Paul

Graeme,

Thank you for the kind words and the great feedback.

If I may ask, what is a "Lounge Collection"?

Cheers,
Paul

Here are a few more for your consideration.

Something a bit different, a few free-form pots.

These were made with a rust colored stoneware clay body and finished with a complimentary oxide engobe.

Here is one more to consider.

This one is made from a brown stoneware clay body and finished with another oxide engobe.

Any thoughts on these two finishes?

Have a great day,
Paul

Sorry i havent inputted earlier Paul. I have to say i was not in love with your pots until the tomato reds came up. they are beautiful. I can visualise a healthy, green foliage d juni in them.

Thanks bodhiharma, I appreciate your sharing your thoughts with me.

You have a good eye. Indeed, I would agree with your tree/pots selection, this is a combination that has been pointed out several times to me.

Do you have some ideas on any of the other pots that you would be will to share? Any native trees maybe?

Once again, thanks for your feedback.

Cheers,
Paul

I dont like any of the first 4 pots. I dont like the texture, the bubbly effect that you have created is not appealing. I dont like the colour of the glaze, and I dont like the contrasting colours around the lip of the pots. I think I would struggle seeing one of my trees in these pots. The shapes are great, and the feet of the pots are too. Its just the colour and texture that you have created that I dont like.

Leigh,

Thank you very much for the detailed response.

I appreciate that you are willing to point out what does not appeal to you in such a constructive manner. This is the type of feedback that helps me refine my presentation.

Just my personal opinion. You have posted many pots on this forum that I would fight to get my hands on, if only you would sell them.

Your compliment is much appreciated and please keep in mind I do sell my pots.

Have a great day.

Paul

I love the texture of the first lot of pots, Paul. Actually I love all of them, and I adore the finish on the third set, the dark red ones that have that 'unglazed' look. If you sell them, would you mind letting us know where, when and how much? I have just begun my collection of quality hand-made pots. In the area where we are, all we can get are cheap nasty Bunnings pots, but I have an order from Penny currently in transit.

G-day Glenda,

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to comment on my pots.

Unfortunately, I do not have a web site at this point in time.

However, please feel free to contact me directly at the e-mail address listed below. I would be happy to accommodate you if I can.

Cheers,
Paul
