Some pots for the new gallery

I just read thru this whole thread, such wonderful pots along the way here. I actually have the first of the two knotted rope pots on page 2!!! Such a treat that all these terrific artworks are published for us to see here. Thanks Dale.

Thanks guys,
Judy, I'm glad you took the 'tour'. That pot you got from Steve ( on pg. 2) is an earlier ( note date) 'Dry Riverbed' style pot that I wraped with a knotted cord soaked in my brine tank for my water softener ala Bizen styles. I did the DRB technique AFTER the cord was wrapped. The glaze on the rim is an ash glaze made with ash from my fireplace. A fairly time consuming piece!

I think I'll make another one of these today!

A few new 'grass pots' that I spent wayyyyyy too much time on!

A new glaze combo I think I'll be using a lot!
An oval about 11 inches.

Killer rectangle! And I don't know quite why, but that second grass pot reminds me of auto shop, or old printing presses...
New glaze is sweet.

Judy, yep, I can see the printing press vision in the tenmoku grass pot.

And, A Tenmoku banded oval




A runny blue oval about 9 inches long.

It reminds me an antique wooden baby crib. Something like this
Excellent new pots and it's obvious why you had spent so much time on them!

A couple more slab built grass/mame pots.

Hello Dale

These are very nice examples of how to combine fantasy design and skill!
Your new glaze-combo is spot on.

Kind regards
Klaudia

nagh this one does it for me , simple yet breath-taking



You can hear it almost begging for a tree

JudyB,
Your comment about the knotted cord 'Dry riverbed' pot that you got from Steve P. got me making a few more. If you go to my FB page I did a little photo article there on making them.

A 'Dry Riverbed' pot made with 3 clays.

Glad that you're making more of those, I think it's a spectacular pot. Someday I'll find that ume for it....

I fired a couple kiln loads of pots just in time for the Asheville, NC show.

Here is a shohin oval 'Dry Riverbed' pot

A couple 'Dry Riverbed' pots with shino glazes.
First a soft-corner square.



Second, a soft-corner rectangle with a slightly different shino.

Judy, and others, here are a few shots of the finished knotted cord 'Dry Riverbed' pots from the previous page

A few more 'Dry Riverbed' pots from a large round with gray shino drips to a medium Tenmoku glazed round.









wondering why pics so often look out of focus on here and not elsewhere?

Orange shino , and others, oval .

A big unglazed oval and a medium unglazed oval.

A smaller version of my new arched bottom ovals with wide rims.

There's going to be some happy folks in NC! I really like the knotted rope stuff, and the ones you posted after!!! The patterned one is to die for.

another large one with a wide rim, but deeper

I got this photo today from Colin Lewis of a potted Ponderosa Pine in a commissioned pot made to his exact specifications for this tree.
This is a fairly good-sized composition. The INSIDE dimensions of the pot are 10 inches X 10 inches x 7 inches deep. he wanted a very simple, unglazed pot with rounded edges.
He requested the incut lip at the top which was a challenge for me to do WITHOUT having any seems showing. I had to think about it for a while
