This is the first video on how to make a bonsaipot in stoneware clay. I make an oval-shaped Bonsai pot, free hand built.
The video shows only the first process of making a pot, not the bisque fire or the glazing, thats in the next video.
Hi, I'm Mika.
I live in Finland and just love to work in clay.
The Finnish winters can be really cold so I have been experimenting with native trees for Bonsai and made my own pots now for some years.
I always keep my Bonsais outside.
In the winter I dig the pot and all levelled with the ground. This way the tree and pot will survive.
I hope you enjoy my video and that you return for more videos!
Cheers!
Mika
