We are doing a one off Bonsai 101/Bonsai for beginners class!
Guest instructor, Kevin Stoeveken of WiscoBonsia will walk us through the basics of growing/keeping/maintaining Bonsai. He will demo the styling of a conifer bonsai as he answers questions from the participants. Since it is late in the season, any “hands on” work to be done at that time of year is restricted to styling conifers with wire, and while the mechanics of wiring would not be applicable to a beginner session, though it would be informative and entertaining”.
This will be a 3-4 hour workshop, starting at 10am. Bring some snacks to tide you over. Kevin is super easy to communicate with, and will be happy to answer questions as we work our way through the styling process.
RAFFLE!! Each ticket holder will be entered into a raffle to win the styled conifer bonsai (worth ~$90) to start/add to their Bonsai collection!
Cost: $35 (includes the $5 collected for the Bodgery for non-member instructors. I’ll try to get the Board to give us a one-off waiver and if successful, will return the $5 to y’all in case that happens)
Sorry, no refunds.
Class may be cancelled if 10 participants are not found by 20th September.
Class will be held in the Shop classroom (adjacent to the woodturning area).
Instructor: you can find and follow Kevin on Instagram @wiscobonsia
ps: if you’re interested in purchasing from his shop (tools, pots, plants, fertilizer, soil), please let me (Puja) know and i can coordinate purchase.
