Sara has been crafting distinctive pottery for American bonsai enthusiasts for over 25 years, devoting herself entirely to bonsai potters for the last fifteen years.  All of her pots are hand thrown, high quality stoneware clays. High firing makes them completely non-porous, frost proof, and extremely durable. The stoneware clay has a lot of tooth, and a warm hand-rubbed appearance. Many of her stoneware glazes are mixed with up to 50% hardwood ash, which gives the pottery a very mottled and textured surface.  Her distinctive styles make it easy to identify a "Sara-pot."

The two shohin pots above show her exquisite attention to detail at any scale.

This large pot is in the collection of Steve Ittel

This monster pot (20" x 15" x 6") was custom-made for Steve Ittel.  Originally intended for a crab apple, it now houses a recently-collected azalea that is beginning to develop nicely. 

These two pots were shown at the Washington, DC national meeting.
