Bonsai Pot Making Process

[Waldo Street Pottery]

The nice folks at The Bonsai Supply, Jerome & Mari recently visited my Waldo Street Pottery Studio in downtown Atlanta and recorded footage of my pot making process to share on their wildly popular YouTube Channel. Other than me being a complete goof and my unfortunate choice of headwear, I think it turned out pretty good. Your thoughts and constructive criticisms are welcomed.

Best Regards-

so that's how you do it! Thanks for sharing, I'll be rewatching so I can duplicate some of your tools. I have two pots drying in my basement that I tried cutting a diamond shape out of a circle pot then squishing it together, pretty disastrous!

Great video! This guy knows what he is doing: those Dunkin Donut containers are the best, narrow and deep. That's what I use

I too tried that method after seeing it in a YT video. I at least learned I needed a better process for oval making. All was not lost!
