Mame pots on a mini pottery wheel

[Jcmmaple]

I love that green one!

A very nice orange celadon glaze....

@Pitoon do you use some kind of wax or similar substance to get the super clean glaze lines? Love how clean the glaze is around the lip.

Liquid latex or wax.

Latex you can mess up pull off and re-apply.

Wax you have one shot. You mess up and you have to re-bisque to burn it off.

So this was a first time using this glaze. It has some potential depending on the pot design. The glaze is black covered with silver oil spots. It's also stable which is always helpful.

No, he has a website or youtube channel?

I saw the pots,, Nice, but at a three digit price,,, that's Robbery! I can make better from the plastic clay bought from a Walmart!

My pots are at three digits as well. Why don't you start a thread showing what you can do with the plastic clay you can buy at Walmart......I'm curious to see myself.

Super sweet pink matte mame pot. The glaze on this one is so smooth. This one will be available at the Winter Silhouette show this coming weekend.

Here's the last one from the batch. This one is a keeper. I'll be putting in a ROR mame trident into this one next year.

You son of a gun. I had my eye on that one and was wondering how you would glaze it.

I think the glaze fits the pot well.

Its fantastic.

Here's one of my favorites from this batch. It's funny how you imagine how something would look like when it's done and it actually ends up looking like how you imagined. I would really like to keep half the pots from this batch, but I have to let them go......someone else can enjoy them.

You're killing me. That is spectacular.

I am glad I will have a preview before the gates open.

Yeah no wonder you wanted a table next to him....

3 digits might be out of some people price range, hell it's outside of mine right now too. but they are absolutely worth it if you actually know what you're looking at. But good luck with your Walmart clay

Hopefully WE can convert YOU to make your beautiful work in larger forms as well as mame so that plants of all sizes can enjoy @Pitoon containers

Personally I think the mame containers are great, but your work is so wonderful that I can’t help but think about how awesome your large pots would be

Thanks, but you know my max size is up to shohin.

I've already started to make shohin size pots in rounds. Soon there'll be other shapes... square, rectangle, hex, mokko, bag, ...etc. If you're going to the National show next year prepare yourself, lol!

Cool! Are you throwing all of those shapes on the wheel and then altering, or are you slab building?

Depends on the style of pot, but yes wheel, slab, or both.
