Making a simple Bonsai Accent Pot

Watch as Dan makes two simple Bonsai Accent Pots using the leftover offcuts of clay from a larger pot - nothing goes to waste! The pots need to work visually from every angle.
The end of the video shows a photo gallery with examples of some of the many thousands of Accent Pots that Dan and his wide, Cecilia, have made over the years.
More Bonsai Accent Pot videos will be following soon - remember to subscribe and be kept up to date with all future videos ....

What awesome creations from what many would consider "scrap"!

Thank you

Dan, watched your videos, apart from the superb pots and expert knowledge passed on, your voice is so expressive you should be commissioned to read Audio books. Looking forward to the next video.

Well that is very kind of you Brian but I'll let you into a little secret - due to a number of circumstances (not least of all, imprisonment in a Japanese internment camp in WW2), I could not read until after the age of 13 and have struggled with reading ever since, so all of my verbal comments are spontaneous 'ad libs'.

Thank you! 😃

Thank you so much! I've been trying to make something from my clay scraps instead of reclaiming and because the clay can be quite dry I don't want to overwork it. The forms end up looking very similar to these and I didn't think they were viable. It's crazy to think that I'd never thought to smooth out the centre and put a drainage hole in... especially considering the fact that my son grows bonsai!! Both of us will be forever in your debt... Off to create some scraps, yay! 😊

[@danbartonslifewithbonsai745]

Haha! Have fun and let the clay 'speak' to you.

[@mbolden393]

@@danbartonslifewithbonsai745 I let the clay speak to me and it told me to stick it together and leave it alone. In fact the accent pot made itself. Linked you in pictures on Instagram so you can see. First of many, I hope 😊
