KAMEREON POTS - WELCOME to the EBPC!

21/5/2026

WELCOME KAMEREON POTS

NEW POTS IN-STORE NOW!

Please join us in welcoming new EBPC members – ‘Kamereon Pots’ of Spain.

It is with great pleasure that today we welcome the enormously talented Tony & Nuria of Kamereon Pots as member artists of the collective. If you love bonsai pots, you need to know these guys!

Since 2020, Tony and Nuria have dedicated themselves, full-time, to their mutual passion for creating high-quality decorative bonsai ceramics for smaller trees and for collector displays. Kamereon Pots is the culmination of 50 years (combined!) devoted to illustration, design and painting, and it shows!

Highly refined paintings and sculpture adorn much of their work. Having studied fine arts, and with a deep appreciation for the Japanese aesthetic however, Kamereon pots are seldom ‘busy’ or pretentious. Instead, they respect the nuanced characteristics that are so invaluable to bonsai and to decorated bonsai pots, such as depth, movement and negative space.

The pots are made in a variety of often traditional shapes, with a ‘Kamereon’ twist. Refined hand-made forms, with great proportions for trees, this artist specialises in pots for smaller trees and for collector displays, although they can make pots up to 37cm.

KAMEREON POTS IN-STORE NOW!

In celebrate of their membership, Tony and Nuria kindly produced for you a magnificent batch of:

10 magnificent shohin sized bonsai pots. (only available to those who check the shop, or read this far!!)

.... Don’t miss these - available in-store NOW!

5 of these great pots will be shipped to buyers DIRECTLY from the potter in Spain,
whilst the other 5 will be shipped from the (EBPC) UK.

You can also READ ABOUT Kamereon Pots in their EBPC potter profile and see examples of their work here.

Thank you for supporting the EBPC & our cherished European bonsai ceramists and furniture makers.

When 4 decades of Studio Pottery expertise meets bonsai

30/7/2025

A warm welcome to Eddie Curtis - to the EBPC community of acclaimed bonsai ceramists!

Please join us in welcoming the highly acclaimed Studio Pottery ceramist, Eddie Curtis of the UK to the EBPC.

An exciting and momentous occasion for bonsai and its ceramics. Eddie brings decades of ceramic passion and expertise to European bonsai, with magnificent forms, glazes and textures as of yet unseen in quite this way in the bonsai world. Some of which represent the epitome of traditional Japanese ceramic finishes and others unique and originally created by himself.

Having long been a keen grower of bonsai, in his professional career, Eddie has passionately strived to recreate landscapes and natural textures through ceramic form and finishes.

Along with a tree, the pot is an essential part of a bonsai, both functionally and aesthetically. The appropriate choice of pot can be very useful in promoting certain features of a tree, and in suggesting the environment and story behind that bonsai.

Eddie's magnificent and suggestive bonsai ceramics are tactile and highly emotive, offering the bonsai artist a fresh, alternative approach to pot selection for exhibition quality trees.

'Discovered' by our mutual friend, the much loved Andrew Pearson, of Stone Monkey Ceramics, at a prestigious ceramics exhibition, Eddie was persuaded to create a series of pots for use with bonsai, which until then he had only done for his own trees.
A project is also currently underway with Peter Warren, who is creating 2 bonsai through a collaboration of Eddie's work and 2 of his own trees.

I believe that the 'crossing over' of this celebreated artist from Studio pottery to bonsai ceramics will be beneficial to the ongoing evolution of European bonsai and its ceramics, which will also introduce the world of bonsai to the far greater audience of studio pottery enthusiasts around the world.

Look out also for the coming article in 'Neue Keramik' magazine - written by Eddie Curtis, in which the EBPC and Peter Warren have also both contributed, that examines this crossover between the field of Studio Ceramics and the more niche field of Bonsai.
'Neue Keramik' is a German magazine focused on ceramics, and especially 'new ceramics' with both printed and online editions. The magazine also has an English version, reflecting the international nature and popularity of the ceramic field.

- And don't miss the exclusive batch of bonsai pots by this famous artist in the EBPC Online-Store here.

.... In-Store 1st August (Friday) at 18.00 GMT!

Thank you for supporting the EBPC and our cherished bonsai potters and furniture makers of Europe.

WELCOME to the EBPC - Michal Mokry

27/3/2025

A great talent from the Netherlands!

Please join us in welcoming Michal Mokry to the EBPC family.

Michal Mokry is a very talented bonsai ceramist from the Netherlands, currently producing exciting glazed bonsai pots in contemporary designs, inspired by core traditional styles.

A selection of Michal's beautiful glazed mame and shohin pots will be available in the EBPC online store tomorrow - Friday 28th March at 18.00pm (GMT).

EBPC DIRECT - Your pot will be send to you DIRECTLY from Michal in the Netherlands (inside the EU)!

Don't miss out on these wonderful pots!

Mindful of the intricates of bonsai display, this artist strives to creating pots that work most harmoniously with a tree. With clean straight lines and often seamlessly integrated feet, the tree remains the main focus of the composition, yet on closer inspection the shibui quality and dynamic glazes never fail to astound!

Pots are made by a variety of methods, including ‘kurinuki’ hand-carved mame sized pots, and slab building for the Shohin and larger pots. Michal has also made some of his own forms/moulds by way of 3D printing, which he uses to help form the main body of more complex designs.

Read more about Michal and his work in his EBPC 'Artist Profile' here!

We are very excited to welcome Michal to the EBPC family, and a selection of his beautiful glazed pots will be available in the EBPC online store tomorrow
- Friday 28th March at 18.00pm (GMT).

Thank you for supporting the EBPC and helping us to support great European bonsai pottery & display!

... As a bonsai related artform, Suiseki has long been displayed at high level bonsai exhibitions, both as an accent with a tree, as well as on their own. Thanks to their high power of suggestion, such stones reflect the essence of landscapes, people, animals and other objects.
Through the art of suiseki, Kawasemi Studios help us to experience the entire universe and cultivate a mindful approach to ourselves and others.

'Our aim is to provide everything you need for Suiseki: stones, the wooden bases, Suiban, matching scrolls and also education and knowledge. Like this we want to share our love for stones and fine arts as well as raise people's awareness of how to combine elements in displays'.

Kawasemi Studios was born from a passion for Suiseki, nature and ceramics.
The creators, Swiss couple Nadja and Sandro Tschudin, live by Lake Lucerne amid the snow-capped Swiss Alps, an idyllic location for Suiseki - both stone appreciation and Tanseki (stone searching trips).

Kawasemi add an exciting new dimension to the EBPC.

Please JOIN US in welcoming new EBPC member - Igor Carino, of Italy !

Please join us in welcoming a world-class artist, ‘Igor Carino’ as an EBPC member!

This inspirational artist has dedicated himself to bonsai for 20 years and has been creating bonsai ceramics for 18. For the past decade, Igor has been researching how to realize his dream – creating bonsai ceramics through the fusion of traditional pot-building principles with cutting-edge modern technology.

His exceptional 3D-Printed pots won 1st prize at the famous pot contest of the 47th Gafu ten in Kyoto, as well as contests in Europe.

These fascinating pieces have incredible detail in their design and patterned finish, yet retain all of the charms of old Japanese anagama-fired ceramics. Each pot from this process is unique, and the pots have a superb wood-fired sheen, with flame signatures, and natural ash deposit glazes.

Please read about these innovative pots and this great artist on Igor Carino’s EBPC Profile

A LIMITED EDITION RANGE of Gafu ten winning design pots will be IN-STORE on FRIDAY at 18.00 GMT!

A select range of these Gafu-ten winning design pots will be made available for EBPC customers tomorrow (Friday 21st April) in the EBPC Online Store.

These award-winning pots are hand built at the base, and then, once designed and a computer program is built, they are 3D printed using traditional clay - high-quality Japanese or French stoneware. The pots are constantly attended to during this long process and then are finished by hand. The rim is then hand built, and once leather hard, areas of the pots are smoothed to a polished finish. The pots are then wood-fired for 11 hours, another process that requires constant attention, in a special high-temperature wood-fired kiln (1350°C), designed and built by ceramic artist and kiln expert Frederick L. Olsen. A mix between traditional Western wood kilns and Japanese kilns.
