Hey, Thank you! The clay for this pot is a stoneware clay with a fair amount of grog. It’s called 11Py-g. The walls are righ about 1 cm thick, could be even thinner.. Cheers! Mika
Hi! My slabs are about 1.2cm thick. They shrink a little bit in the fire, so I end up with about 1 cm. The climate her in Finland is tricky for outdoor Bonsai. I could make the walls thinner, but the changes in temperature, freezing cold winters etc, are a problem. I think you could easily make a pot like this with slabs from 7 mm all the way up to about 3 cm thick. Right now -13 here and my pots are out in the garden covered with ice and ❄️. Cheers!
Hello there! I order my clay from a shop here in Finland that specializes on ceramics. The clay is originally from England. I hope I could be helpful. Cheers! Mika in Finland
Hello there! The clay I use is a Stoneware clay that I buy from my supplier. Stoneware is perfect for outdoors, because its burning temperature is higher than earthenware clay. I burn it in a kiln on 1250 degrees C. Cheers from Finland!
