I was really sad to hear of Nick's passing a few days ago. He was a huge corner stone in the bonsai community and ironically his works were some the first that introduced me into bonsai. His artistry was just top notch and his work always made me think in ways other bonsai haven't. His pottery...

Like other photo thread rules: don’t make a post in here unless it has a photo! Except, it has to be a pot you own, by Nao Tokutake, and it has to be in use. I’d love to see what y’all have! I’ll start: This is a Red Huckleberry in a modest lil pot by Nao. I think I bought it from him in late...

Like other photo thread rules: don’t make a post in here unless it has a photo! Except, it has to be a pot you own, by Vicki Chamberlain, and it has to be in use! (Like with a plant in it… don’t get wise, funny guy) I’ll start:

This technique isn’t novel and I don’t know where it originated, but I’ve had a chuckle over the name “The Oregon Hole.” It’s stormy this week so I’ve been hiding under my carport and listening to podcasts and music while monitoring the drill. Here’s what I wrote up to explain the process to...

Hello, I put ceramic tile down for a living and a lot of time there are extra or some scrap pieces. I been thinking about getting into pot making and was wondering if it would be possible for me to integrate these extra pieces in the pot making process? I think I could make some really cool...

Been a while since I posted, thought I'd post some new pots that came out of the kiln recently. Contrary to what some would have people believe, the construction quality, thickness of walls (which isn't really an issue for me, I slab build everything and my slab roller is pretty precise ) and...

(Squares/Rectangles will be excluded for simplicity) When I first became interested in bonsai, I looked at a lot of photos. Because of the angle of the photos and my newbiness, I originally assumed the pots were round. I now know that most of the pots I saw were ovals. I would think that with...

I recently had the opportunity to rummage through a whole bunch of inexpensive Chinese imports and stock up on pots at a very reasonable price. I think I may have gotten a little carried away ;) This is what ended up in the back of my car: Actually, I really do need a bunch of inexpensive...

Here is my display from KAWA'S J.O.B. taken this January. Quite a few pots and trees fit into such a small space! It was a great mini-convention up in Bunnell, Florida.
