NATIONAL BONSAI AND PENJING COLLECTION OF AUSTRALIA
Bonsai Pot Acquisition Prize 2021
The Bonsai Pot Acquisition Prize 2021 is designed to encourage the appreciation of the art of bonsai pottery and to highlight the beauty and functionality of bonsai pots. The beauty and style of the pot adds to the aesthetics, the emotions evoked and to the way a bonsai is styled and maintained.
The Challenge
Create a bonsai pot for a Water gum, Tristaniopsis laurina (as pictured below). The Water gum, donated by Ray Nesci of NSW, dates back to 1988 and has been in training for the last 31 years. The tree was grown from seed and styled as a root over rock.
Tree dimensions are 500mm tree height from the soil, 500mm wide, 500mm front to back. The nebari (root flare – including the rock) is 140 mm wide.
The dimensions of the current pot should not be used as a guide, but for reference, the dimensions are as follows:
Inside: 330mm W x 240mm d x 55mm H
Outside: 380mm W x 290mm d x 75mm H
Bonsai Pot Display
Pots submitted will form a Bonsai Pot Display at the National Bonsai and Penjing Collection of Australia from Monday 22 March to Sunday 28 March 2021*. Pots will be exhibited during Bonsai Reshaped 26 - 28 March 2021, where Australian native trees and Australian artists feature alongside the beauty of Japanese traditional arts. From hands on workshops to demonstrations and discussion forums, learn more about the ancient arts of bonsai, kusamono, ikebana and bonsai ceramics, which all focus on subtle elements that enhance nature and seasonal beauty. Onsite and online tickets available.
