Some pots for the new gallery

Ginkgo leaves....

A medium carved oval



and a pretty good-sized deep Dry Riverbed oval 17 1/2" long and about 4" deep.

I really like making these DRB bunjin pots. Just made two big ones today, 25 pounds clay each and about 4" deep when done.

Dale,

You are a true artist. One of each, please!

Libby

Thanks Libby, I appreciate that a lot!

Hi Dale

This are again good unusual pots, Good work as always.

Best regards
Peter

Here are a few more of the hand-carved mame pots carved from solid blocks of clay. These are VERY time consuming so the available numbers will be small, especially for the larger sizes I showed earlier..

I was really suprised by the small amount of pots I got made since my last show but the things I've been working on are very time consuming so numbers are smaller than I'd like.

I made some VERY dark pots with a lot of reduction of the clay ( I fell asleep on the couch while doing a reduction run for 1 1/2 hours!) but I really like the colors.
Here is an oval that the photo just doesn't do justice. BTW, I'm 'new camera' shopping!



And a Dry Riverbed bunjin with flame marks...



and something new, a woodgrained bunjin pot with drips.

Another new "JJ" pot. I really like these but pretty time consuming.

I've been working on various designs of scoop pots attached to slabs/water areas. Several in the works and one nice one broke in a stupid accident. Here is the smallest/least fancy water area I made. This one is a bit over a foot long I think.

good work,i like it and could i order from you???im from the phil. and this is alex,thanks

Alex, I could ship to the phillipines, but shipping is very expensive out of the country. I've shipped to Europe, UK and Australia and packing/shipping/insurance is a killer especially if a bigger pot!

Here is a large gray/green satin oval with carving about 17".

This is a large, low bunjin/literai DRB pot with my green ash glaze made with ashes from our fireplace.

A 'Dry Riverbed' pot made with a white clay.

I like that green one a lot!

Edit: The second green one.

Thanks Preston

I've been doing some shohin leaf pots in porcelain and other white clays. Here are a few.

I had a commission for a Dry Riverbed bunjin/literati pot with inside measurements at the lip of 15-16" and 3-4" deep inside.
I made FIVE.
Here are the first 3 out of the kiln. Two are my own ash glazes and one unglazed.
The nicest one ( in the exact size requested) I glazed with a neat shino. It is firing right now and it should be cooled in a couple days. The other one in the kiln is another ash glazed.

Hey Dale,

That red & black is just stunning, send it my way

Matt

Thanks Matt,

Here is a Dry Riverbed pot with green.

Here are a few carved shohin pots in different shapes.
This is a new idea I'm developing which is a mixture of thrown, altered and carved pots.
I'm going to call these "Wrecked (rect.) Pots" since most start life as some type of rectangular shape and go from there to rect, square, oval or lotus. I'll be doing a lot of these in varios sizes in the future. These are all shohin size. I'm working on some larger ones now.
