I named the slab Lay's Chip for two reasons. First, it's shaped and wavy like a potato chip and second, my husband's last name is Lay, so a fun homage to all the help he gives me with my bonsai: digging trees, drilling rocks , setting up shows , and the list goes on!
Process: The internal structure of this pot is sculptor's wire that Linda formed into shape by hand. Then pigmented concrete was applied by hand. This pot is relatively light for a slab of this size,  yet very strong. There is internal wire structure in every part of the pot. The base color of is throughout the entire pot. So that way if you were ever to chip it, the color in not just in the top layer, but  all the way through. 


About me and my pots: I have been a bas-relief sculptor and painter for 30 years. During Covid I started to delve into bonsai and was instantly hooked. Combining sculpture, my knowledge of natural earth pigments and bonsai was just a natural thing. I  love unique bonsai making pots and slabs! I  can make a custom one to perfectly fit your tree in any custom color .
