ROBYN TARRANT – VERY INTERESTING POT MAKER
The AABC convention in the Gold Coast revealed another interesting potter who hails from the area. Robyn Tarrant doesn't work in clay, she uses chicken wire, bonsai wire and adhesive oxides and acrylic paints to create her distinctive pots. The pots aren't fired, they dry naturally and are durable. They improve with weathering and the constant moisture does not cause deterioration.
Robyn works with a large variety of natural textures and colours. Robyn's pots are freeform from the popular slabs and moon bowls to incredibly interesting shapes and textural finishes, all of which blend with a bonsai beautifully and are especially suited to our natives.
Robyn was inspired by her love of very natural looking pots. She was unable to locate any and decided to make her own. The AABC was her first selling exposure and by the second day she was all but sold out. Her unique designs and the very naturalness of her pots will make them very sought after.
Robyn has no website yet but she is happy to take special orders and she will be doing the Qld bonsai show circuit. She can be contacted on the.tarrants@bigpond.com and when she gets up and running her business name will be ‘Arty’.
It is so great to find a bonsai pot maker [she doesn't call herself a potter because she does not work in clay] who can create freeform with harmony and interest and shapes that elevate a bonsai from average to excellent.
