Literati design is an ultra-feminine form that must be matched and complemented by the ceramic vessel that accompanies it. The elongated aesthetic of the tree is best served by the most minimal amount of ceramic body possible to hold the tree upright and contain the root system, slowing growth and holding the tree’s minimalist design. This week on Mirai Live, join us in the process of matching tree to container to evoke literati design from start to finish. Build your repotting skills and work through the process of conforming a literati lodgepole pine’s root system to an innovative, avant-garde container from Jonathan Cross–and explore Jonathan Cross’ inspirational design & firing process, straight from his studio in Joshua Tree, CA.
