Sometimes a neglected bonsai needs to be reshaped and repotted. Here, a Japanese elm (Ulmus japonica, good bonsai tree for beginners) is used as an example to show how radically this can be done.

Our videos about ceramics and bonsai pots can be found on our YouTube channel Dot pot ceramics.
Video: Building the new ceramic kiln
We have built a wood-fired ceramic kiln to fire larger pots. It can also be used to create special effects (reducing firing, flying ash).
Here we show the construction of the kiln in 3 videos (part 1, part 2, part 3).
Video: Test firing of the new ceramic kiln
We dry-fired our wood-fired ceramic stove. In the process, a test object developed an unexpected life of its own.
