There are many containers in our lives, starting with the womb. From there, during life’s journey, we are sheltered in so many ways. The same is true for bonsai. A covered seed germinates, and then grows in the ground or a rock or a flat, and then eventually finds its way into a pot. This past year’s pottery event in Rochester has progressed into a thoughtful exhibit with a wonderful future. Ancient cultures have made containers for many survival processes… these became an art form for all of to enjoy. China, Japan, Europe, and now more than ever, American Bonsai pots are experiencing a new order. Let us embrace their art! —Jim Doyle, Nell Doyle Leaman, & Libby Tisdell Doyle
