On tonight’s stream, we explore the nuances of the relationship between the structural work and shaping of a tree, and the shape and characteristics of its container. Ryan will work on an iconic and extraordinary Sierra Juniper, working its initial structure toward a shape reflective and responsive to its avant-garde container, created by ceramicist Erik Krizovensky. Build your skills as you learn not only to set the structure of a tree, but create a composition which in its totality reflects the environmental characteristics that build the shape, branching, and overall silhouette of the tree. Discover horticultural techniques for avant-garde containers, structural setting of junipers, and a deeper understanding of design on an thus far uncharted level. Tuesday, 6pm PDT, at live.bonsaimirai.com. Catch it in the archive Thursday.
