Choosing the right clay, very long drying time, experience 😉

15 kg of wet clay — I think I should be allowed to write off my gym membership as a business expense! 😅

12 kg of clay, months of drying, and a constant battle against cracks — that’s the reality of large bonsai pots. I’m starting early on the pieces for the Genk Trophy in February…
(I can even make them without drainage holes for canoe lovers! 😅)

With this kind of texture, the glaze choice will be crucial… even though I have absolutely no idea which one I’ll use yet!

Still alive! Just keeping a very close eye on drying pots—especially in summer, when things can go too fast.

A cinematic pottery video — handbuilt ceramic trophy pot with medieval textures, slip decoration, and gold accents. I made this pot without a clear plan. Just one idea, some clay… and a hundred mistakes. In this video, I step out of the usual bonsai pot codes to explore a different direction — a medieval, steampunk-inspired trophy pot. I tried things I’d never done before. I failed. I adjusted. I learned. And that’s exactly what this project is about. If you’ve ever felt stuck in routine, or unsure how to turn your ideas into reality — maybe this video will speak to you, or maybe another on this playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH5Fqye0mrsc78Yh_esq5VpJySflZAocu&si=hDqzzFbyJTpfNICz 🎨 Pottery techniques and process: • Handbuilding and sculpting • Carving clay plates and armor textures • Colored slip decoration on greenware • Oxide wash on bisque-fired ceramics • Low-fire metallic slip for golden accents • DIY pottery tools and creative... This Mistake Taught Me More Than Any Tutorial

Here’s how (and why) I sometimes make completely useless pots. 😅

After a bonsai show, I always come back with extra motivation—perfect time to tackle those long, tricky pots I’m usually too lazy to make!

#gregceramics #pottery #ceramics #bonsaipot #bonsaiworld #potterlife #stoneware #clay #handmade #potter #bonsai #pottersofblusky #clayart

There’s nothing quite like the joy of seeing my pots paired with such beautiful bonsai in a top-level exhibition.

I really love making fantasy maps like the one here (in progress since 2023 maybe :). So I decided to try it on a bonsai pot. Used a Mayco liner, but it's pretty difficult making lines while squeezing the bottle. Will try a fine brush next time...
#bonsai #pottery #fantasymap #ceramics #porcelain

Very nice result. I've been wanting to try those liners for a while too—right now I mostly work with a brush. I think both techniques have their pros and cons.

ceramic trophy, made on a potter's wheel, black and gold tones.

Here is the finished trophy—I hope the winner enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it. I’ll be handing it over to the winner this Saturday at the Enghien exhibition in Belgium.
Smooth stoneware – Cone 8 firing – Slip and glaze.

As expected, it didn’t come out quite the way I imagined! Not a disaster, but definitely more of a muted blend than I was hoping for.

#pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #bonsaipot #stoneware #glaze #bonsaiworld #bonsai #clayart #potterlife #handmade #gregceramics #underglaze

Before firing, the colors are so pale and flat… I always feel a bit nervous. Will it turn out the way I imagined? (Spoiler: usually not 😅)

#pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #bonsaipot #stoneware #glaze #bonsaiworld #bonsai #clayart #potterlife #handmade #gregceramics #underglaze

I’m working on developing my own “retro-futuristic” vision—more to come…

#gregceramics #potterOfBluesky #pottery #ceramics #clayart #clay #steampunk #underglaze

Your work is very fine and very neat, it speaks to me!

very beautiful universe, can't wait to see the final result!

Everything is perfect here: sculpture, form, and glaze. 👍

Very nice design, I like this spirit between smoke and organic

New project: half pot, half trophy—a ceramic piece designed to be an award for an upcoming exhibition.

J'ai eu la même réaction épidermique quand j'ai vu ça.
"vos vidéos existantes" ça veut dire qu'ils vont le faire aussi sur les anciennes vidéos. Ça va être chiant de tout re-vérifier :(
Dernièrement, sur un live d'1h30, j'ai oublié de le faire manuellement, quand j'ai vérifié il y avait 40 pubs !!
