Hey there, well i was looking at the pots here and i thought, why not show off my pots, that i used to make back in the late 90's under my brand Shangrilah ( see photo of logo on my pots ). I used to sell them to Shops around Qld, to Lindsay Bebb Brisbane Bonsai Nursery, and through my Restaurant / Bonsai Business, tell you what, I am gonna say I am proud of what I achieved in producing them, it took a whole year of trial and error till i was ready to sell, made up my own glazes and molds as well, wished I still could.

Re: MY PASSION
Nice stuff James. What stopes you making more now?
I just started throwing pots on the wheel again the other day. Haven't checked them for a week I hope the clay is still pliable enough to finish them

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: MY PASSION
I echo Bretts. Why not continue doing what you love? Your pots are fantastic!
I absolutely love the scalloped trays, especially the one with the fig, I could see one of mine in a pot just like it.
Thanks for sharing
