now dont laugh guys

That's good for a 1st attempt. Of those pictured which was the 1st one made?

I like the third from the left and second from the right. Tenmoku glaze inside? I don't recognise what you did on the outside - slip perhaps and fine brushwork? You have the feet just perfect for bonsai pots, too. Well done.

thanks ketoi, i think the 1st was the smallest one but not sure a few cracked that i had done in a purple glaze

penny much thanks. i painted that brown stuff on first around the rims and graphics. then brushed on r9 all over and then dipped the rims in 2.10. they were baked in reduction. there thats my big secret for this term.

r9 and 2.10! You're not giving away any secrets! Are they your special code for your secret recipes?
Just joking, with the numbers, they must be commercial glazes. Do you have access to raw materials? If so, try mixing your own, I can give you a couple of recipes to try now that you've mastered wheel-work.

Nice one Antonio you should be pumping out bonsai pots in no time.

dunno enough to answer that yet penny but i will ask for recipes in time. their the codes the buckets have written on them, with samples done to pick from.

thanks brett but not enough hours in the day! 6hrs sleep is enough but please no less.

Nice work Ant! I like the second from the right, man if I had more time I'd go with you to check out these pottery classes.
In recent times all the threads on pottery are really making me wanna give it another go, I only ever tried it in high school and it was great fun.

well let me tell ya it was fun this morning had a rippa sitting in front of me.

Antonio,

Good work.

It looks like you have a good handle on using the wheel.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Paul

thanks paul not yet but will.

Good stuff Antonio, how about some close-ups of individual pots so we can really get a handle on them

....and, tell us more about the 'rippa' sitting in front of you...I'm intrigued
