A few pots and accent-pots from our last firing.

A very surprising rectangular pot by Klaudia .... the glaze transforms and flows at the bottom.






.... and Martin's smooth cascade-pot came out with wonderful green and brown colors.

New pots 9 13 3

Two more pots from the last firing.

The first pot is made by Klaudia.
The finish is a collaboration of two glazes that transforms as a thin "snakeskin" ... marvellous !



























This pot is made by Martin. Mixed clay with no glazing.

After a long time we finally finished our pots.
The glazing was going very well and a few new glazes have been used.
All pots are now on display at Werner Busch's  Bonsaiwerkstatt / Bonsai-Museum in Düsseldorf

More pots will be shown regularly now.

The first pot is made by Klaudia.
Dark clay with a very thin matt and smooth glaze. The clay is showing through the glaze.
This finish is very satisfying and it's a pleasure to touch this pot!

























The second pot is made by Martin.
Very freely thrown and sprayed with a multigreen glaze.
The final result is fairly unpredictable .... the excitement is marvellous!
 

A very rare butterfly

Today a very rare butterfly in our area visited the garden.
