I tried this once and NOPE way harder than it looks. Well done Sir.

The best and the most detailed building of a large oval pot I have ever seen made. Thank you Eli, Mari and Jerome.

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

goodness, that is quite a process, thanks for taking us along. Just need one with The Bonsai Supply logo in the glaze.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Michael! We were just as surprised. What a talented pot maker he is though!

[@igaudion973]

LOVE THIS!

[@arnoldmmbb]

Ver very cool video guys!! So nice to see the handwork and talent behind a good handmade pot

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Eli sure knows what he is doing! Thank you Arnoldo

[@frankmcdermott3467]

Thanks for the great content!!
Great job Eli!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you Frank!

[@stevevaughn2040]

That was great. I enjoy watching artist at work. I watched a family friend make pottery, Raku vases, and he made it look easy. Then I tried, it is not easy...and worth the money

[@potkosongbonsai1818]

Waw it's very amazing so kreatif God bless you sir

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you very much 🌳

[@bobmccarlie382]

Great description of the pot making process. I wish I was younger and could try this art. I would love to buy one of his pots for one of my trees.

[@raymondplodzien7459]

Beautiful work. Thank you for such an interesting video.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Love it ! And love the reference to the Little Feat song... Feats don't fail me now. ❤️

[@trenseni]

Good idea

[@blueridgebonsai9155]

Loved the video about a brilliant potter. Unfortunately with the demise of the NC Bonsai Expo he won’t be selling his pots in Asheville NC anymore and its a long drive to Atlanta just to buy a pot.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hi! Eli ships his pots so that could be an easy fix 🙂

[@blueridgebonsai9155]

@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Yes, I have seen his website and his pots. But as you know it is always desirable to actually see a pot and in some cases even have the bonsai you intend to plant in it with you when choosing one. I have been spoiled by living in Asheville and being able to see his pots at the annual Expo as well as at the Shohin shows in Charlotte but both have now been permanently cancelled leaving only the Winter Silhouette show in Charlotte. These are a real loss for the entire SE region.

[@hometeamrocker]

Come to the Winter Silhouette show in Kannapolis. Brilliant show.

[@OjaiBonsai]

Nice video. I looked into buying a kiln they are expensive. I have a buddy that takes classes at a college to make pots.

[@maryannhinden2719]

Eli, very nice work! One question: what is the material you are using to separate the round spacers from the bottom of the pot?

[@greglaird9390]

newspaper

[@erickvarela2777]

Mari getting a little chubby! Baby on the way!?

[@hot_pony_unicorn]

14hr cone 6 firing😳 why?

[@Bigninjon]

Yall should invest in some mic's

[@hometeamrocker]

Support these guys by purchasing bonsai supplies and maybe they can continue to upgrade and expand.

[@jackcaselles1180]

Video is helpful, but ads are really off-putting and distracting.
