Hi,
I picked up a couple of pots from Bonsai Art in Melbourne, they were hand made by a local artist. I forgot to ask the name of the potter. Can anyone tell me who it might be?
Thanks.

hi Leigh, thanks for the nice comments on my pots. I have been a potter for 20 years. When I joined the Mornington Peninsula Bonsai Society around 5 years ago I made some bonsai pots for a trial and have been making them since. Regards, Lorraine

Nice to see you here Lorraine. I have been trying to sell your pots. Next weekend they will get a big plug when I do my PowerPoint.
As pots feature a fair bit and Local or as it should be Australian potters getting a big Plug from me.
I hope your trees are faring well with all the inclement weather you have been getting.
Cheers Pup, stay out of the cold, and keep warm.

Here is the pot Lorraine gave me when we were at the Mornington peninsular Bonsai Society last April.
With the tree then and today. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Cheers Pup

OK - here is a rushed photo of one of the pots I picked up last August! I hope to get some more either this August, or next May.
Apologies for the inferior image.
