The Kiln Across The Street
I am lucky to have a craft shop across the street with 3 electric kilns and a resident potter that has been very helpful in my branching out into Bonsai Pottery.
My first run was fired a couple weeks ago and these are the results. William |

The first two are a Walnut color 5 1/2" x 3", 5" x 2"
Then a Chocolate 5% grog 3" x 1 1/2" Yellow 25% grog 4" x 3 1/2" and 3" x 1 1/2" The rectangle was a slump build that I did before I got the wheel. It was also my first attempt at glazing...placing the white glass was a test. I call it Rocky Road...lol. it is 9" x 5". William |

Good start Wiliam.
Those are some nice wheel-thrown shohins. I think i can tell which one was last pot thrown  The slump molded pot. Did they just happen to have a bonsai pot mold laying around there? Dale

Thanks to all for the kind remarks.
Dale the slump mold was from an earthenware ceramic slip mold with a nice rectangle. Put it up on kiln shelf spacers and slumped her in. Have more coming, just waiting for them to dry. The wheel stuff is getting larger the more I learn to control the clay. I also have a large slab rectangle I have my fingers crossed on making through the firing without cracking. It's been drying since Nov 10th. William |

Good effort Ent,
Throwing on the wheel is fun and not that hard, is it? Concentrate on your trimming for a clean professional look. You seem to have access to several clays. Make sure your clays mature and are fired up in the stoneware temps to make a long lasting bonsai pot. Keep it up, Watching with interest---RC ps. Watch out for that inner lip curving inwards. Makes repotting a bear. Keep it straight or slightly outcurving.

Incurved pots are traditional in form in every Japanese and chinese catalog and very often seen in dispay. Theres a key to solving the problem with rootbound trees in incurved rimmed pots.... Can you guess what it is?
