Talking Bonsai Pots
Рет қаралды 8,938
2 жыл бұрынDan discusses some of his recent (summer 2022) Bonsai Pot creations and includes explanations about glaze and kiln mishaps as well as tree suitability for different pot/glaze types and also about the criteria he uses when pricing his pots.
This informative and educational video should appeal to both Bonsai aficionados and Potters/Ceramicists alike.

Hey Dan, I've been working with bonsai inconsistently for about 40 years, and have just begun to make pots, so I am finding your videos most inspiring. Thank you.

I’ve only just found your channel and am very much enjoying catching up. Fantastic to watch a bonsai enthusiast make/talk pots. I love the thought that as your quince drops it’s leaves your beautiful pot appears, an Autumn treat for you.

Excellent - now introduce them to planting a seed or two to see how it grows - try someting large like a French Bean or similar.

Oh wow Dan, very nice pots. And I like the video also. Would happily watch many more like this (Subscribed) In my Bonsai journey I’m getting to the point where I’m looking just as much at the pot. Haahaha, however I don’t have very many pots that would get more than a passing glance. So, I’ve got some shopping to do. Haahaha.

Love your pots. Your glazes and finishes on them are simple great. Your pot making videos are inspiring. There was a smallish pot you indicated was not a commission and was possibly available. Although where I am located shipping might be something to consider.

Dan try using silver sand on your kiln shelves instead of batt wash. It allows the pot to move much more easier when it expands and contracts during the firing. I have used it for over 15 odd years now with great success

Thanks Andy - I usually do add silver sand but for reasons given in the video you will see why I didn't with the new very large shelves that this pot was placed on.
