Subject: [IBC] BT#84 Takagi pot comp wonderings


snip: Maybe we've run out of ways to make a lotus-shaped
pot look new or interesting in a pot competition or maybe this is the
new wave of bonsai pottery but in either case I have a gut feeling there
is a better way to go that would still appeal to the traditionalists.

Bill,
Ome of the problems with a pottery contest, at least THE WAY I SAW IT was
that "traditional" wasn't REALLY wanted, what they wanted was "Traditional
with a twist", unfortunately, you NEVER know what that twist they want
is....and, I doubt they do either.
