- In this video, I'll guide you through the step-by-step process of making a large oval bonsai pot using clay slabs. With our easy-to-follow instructions, you can make a big-sized bonsai pot that is perfect for your tree.
Video Content:
We will be using stoneware clay to create a durable and frostproof pot, as it is strong, durable, and holds up well in firing. Select a clay that suits your needs and preferences.
Roll out the clay slabs to the right thickness, ensuring they are even and smooth. Use a rolling pin and guidelines to create a perfect slab.
Using the clay slabs, shape the oval pot to the desired size and shape. You can use templates or create your own design, making sure to smooth out any bumps or rough spots.
Activate the subtitles for the explanations (French, English), I give explanations that can help beginners how to make bonsai pots.

I took my first ceramics class last night. Now I have something to aspire to.
Beautiful Art work! Thank you so much Greg!, gave up pottery for years, but did make some beginner bonsai pots☺️maybe with your inspiration, I will pick this beautiful art work again🇨🇦👍
Really like the idea of the sunken wiring holes. A real touch of class.
Thank you, many people are also intrigued by the cross shape. The first recess is to hide the wire, the second perpendicular is to pass the tool to cut the wire when repotting.
Beautiful just watching this. I would love my Bonsai trees in such a pot.
Thank you 😊
Really like your technique, thanks for sharing. Beautiful work.
Stunning!
Good lord that pot is an absolute unit, amazing work!
Nice one mate 🙏
Toujours un grand plaisir à regarder vos vidéos. Merci.
I want that pot! Lol I made some bonsai pots took a class in 2012, teacher knew nothing about bonsai pots and I knew little but it was so fun and now I want to again, thanks for the inspiration.
Nice to see you're posting again, I've learned a lot from your older videos, thank you for sharing the process
Makes it look so easy
😮
Magnifique vidéo, ça donne envie de s' y essayer. Merci
Amazing job
Awesome....love it ❤️❤️
Sensacional, meus parabéns!
Beautiful pot & wonderful video, good choice of music as well.
Thank you 🙏
Wow good technique, really impressed my friend
I am such a Virgo, that beautiful wood table getting dirty was driving me crazy
Excepcional! 👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing.
Que sencillo parece. Gracias.
Gracias Maestro...!!!
Wenn diese Schale mit einem würdigen Baum eines Tages Hochzeit feiert wäre ich gern live dabei. Diese Keramik hat leben, wie der Bonsai der darin Respekt verdient. Sehr kunstvoll! Dein Handwerk wird bestimmt noch viele Wunder vollbringen.
Excelente trabajo. Favor publicar luego de salir del horno. Gracias
My ASMR is maxed out. Great video. Your patience and attention-to-detail is mesmerizing. More videos, please. Subscribing now.

Brilliant work, am just starting making pots and love this...thank you for taking the time to make the film...what is the name of the black comb tool you use to help trim the inside edge of the rim? From about 9.15? Thanks 👍
It's a homemade tool ;)
What is supporting the pot when you cut the drainage holes? Such a beautiful pot!!
what you want, a piece of cardboard, a plank of wood, it doesn't really matter...
I put something flat that I have on hand...
@@Greg-ceramics Thank you. I'm just so afraid of the piece sagging! I will definitely try to make one of these.
Bonjour tout d’abord, tu offres de très belle vidéo, et partages un beau savoir faire, merci. Je voudrais savoir si on peut utiliser de l’argile au séchage libre ou si l’on doit utiliser obligatoirement du grès qui doit être cuit ? Merci d’avance
Merci. Il faut obligatoirement du grès pour que ça tienne à l'extérieur et au gel. Même la faience (l'argile qu'on utilise pour faire de la vaisselle) qui cuit à moins haute température n'est pas utilisé pour l'extérieur car c'est gélif. L'argile auto-durcissante est juste suffisante pour faire des objets de déco qui restent en intérieur, et ça reste très fragile.
@@Greg-ceramics merci pour le retour ! YapluK !
Wow beautiful work.What glaze have you used please?
The finished pot 👉 www.greg-ceramics.com/?page=item&id=MzQ0Ng%3D%3D
It's a homemade recipe, all my glazes are made by myself.
Beautiful pot. How does it look after firing? Did it stay straight & crack free?
Thank you... Firing went well ^^

What did you have inside the pot when you turned it over to put in the drain holes and feet? Great video ~ subscribed!!
Thank you. Most often I put a board with pieces of clay. You can see it in this video for example: czcams.com/video/6XY23Vnzn7o/video.html
what do you use under the pot as you cut the drainage holes? I'd love to attempt a pot this size.
a sheet of foam
I would like to try this. I'm sure I'll create some ugly ducklings at first. I suppose I'd have to find a place to fire it..great video, you have great skill..
Start with small pots, without skipping steps.
For firing, there are often potters, equipment suppliers, or pottery clubs who rent their kilns. You have to look at the classified ads. ;)
@@Greg-ceramics Thanks, I'll check it out!
What are the tiny little holes within the clay, did you tenderize it before sculpting?
it's the canvas of my slab roller that marks the clay.
Great job! Temperature? Thanks!
thanks, about 1250°C (Cone 8)
Hi
What glue you using to join parts

Bonjour, comment faites-vous pour travailler avec une argile aussi humide pour faire un pot de cette taille ?
C'est juste l'expérience. Avec le temps je me rend compte que je manipule la terre sans la déformer, mais c'était quelque chose de très difficile à mes débuts.
C'est comme faire du vélo, c'est difficile au début. Ensuite c'est quelque chose de naturel.
What is the material you used to make it ? What is needed after you shape it ? Like heating it or something else .😊
clay (stoneware), it's fired in a kiln at 1240°C
Whats the name of the black tool you use on the edge on the pot, to cut the lip ?
Thank you for sharing brother!
it's a self-made tool ;)
@@Greg-ceramics how did u make it sir?
Can I do this without a kiln? In an oven perhaps
no, it's fired at +1200°C. In an oven you can just dry it, not fire it.
Hace mucho tiempo compañero ☺️.. todo bien??!!
todo bien ;)
How thick do you roll the slab for this project please? Tia
usually for all my pot I roll at 8-10 mm
@@Greg-ceramics thank you 🌝
Bonjour, quelle est l’intérêt de mettre du papier journal sous le pot? C’est pour éviter les marques du ctp sur l’argile ?
L'argile a une tendance de coller sur les surface glacer
Mettre le journal c'est pour faciliter de manipuler l'argile
@@hakimben7808 voilà, tout est dit :D
What is the thickness of your pot?
If you have ideas for pots that could be interesting to film, share your ideas. Or let me know if there's a technique or something in particular you'd like to see, sometimes I'm at a loss for ideas!
What do you think about korean succulent pots? The are very little but perfect for succulents. 🙂
m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61emWbeztkL._SX679_.jpg
I don't know, I don't know anything about succulents
@@Greg-ceramics They thrive in terra cotta. I came across your video because I wanted my class to try and custom make their own pots for succulents.
Have you done any kintsugi videos?
