    Default Orchid Wall Pockets

    I wanted to make some of my pottery work for a change so I thought that wall pockets would be an idea. Showed them to our local orchid shop and he is interested. Just got these 2 out of the kiln and mounted a couple of seedlings in the double.
    What do yo think ?

    nice...what type of clay are you using? Stoneware?...do you have a slab roller or did you hand roll? I could see myself using an unglazed version of that.
