Hello Tania, yes they are shallow bc the bonsai technique means controling the root mass to keep the tree miniature. The general rule for depth is that the depth of the pot is a diamater of the trunk, just above the soil level, however it also depends on the stage of tree's development. In the case of my black pot for thuja tree, I'm still developing the tree and want to thicken the trunk, so I'm making pot a bit bigger to have more rooms for roots. Eventually these roots will be pruned and the tree will go to the shallower pot. Does that make sense?
@@taniagoldbergpottery9953 maybe you'll give it a try? They are fun to make. With your unique decorations I bet you could make awesome pots, I saw your channel, so much talent!
Very nice presentation. Taking the process all the way through the glaze fire is ideal. Thank you from California
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching
They all look so creative and beautiful. Thank you Izabela for showing the process.

Beautiful and a nice variety of styles; I'm especially in love with the speckled clay and glaze combination!
Thank you Donya, the speckled clay is interesting to work with, I wonder what trees will go into them
I love love love those circular pots with the rectangular stamped feet!!! You do such beautiful work, Izabela!
Thank you so much Babr, I'll be making some more in the fall, there's many glaze combos to try

Beautiful! Are they always shallow? Is there a typical depth to bonsai ratio?

Yes, perfect, thank you so much! I never make these and know nothing about it, so I was curious!
