Maybe not a perfect quote, but that was the gist of a comment during a recent ceramics workshop with some bonsai society members, “Now I know why pots are so expensive!”

All Secrets Revealed
12 Sunday Nov 2017
Ok, “All Secrets Revealed” might be a little over dramatic for a video showing the creation of a bonsai pot, but I did included every part of the process, which I hope will serve as a teaching tool.
I recently started working with a group of bonsai society members who want to learn to make their own bonsai pots. Next time we meet, we are going to dive into slab construction and I was worried that it would take longer than we have together. When I do ceramics at home, I often take my time and go back to the work-in-progress several times, sometimes over days. This was a test to see how long it takes from start to finish.
The answer: 3 1/2 hours. We will be able to squeeze this into one session, but it will be a very full session.
