Workshop: Intro to Bonsai 10/24 9:30-11:30
Thursday, October 8th, 2009We are sorry to announce this Class has been canceled!
A small group will join Scott Chadd in the creation of a maple bonsai (pronounced bone-sigh). All materials for the workshop will be provided: trees, pots, soils, wire and screen. Each student is expected to bring their own tools (pruning sheers and fine-bladed scissors or snips and gloves).
The workshop will cover Asian philosophy as it relates to bonsai, plant physiology, the language of “living art”, concepts of line, form, texture and color that govern access to beauty in bonsai and a general overview of this ancient art form.
Scott Chadd got his first bonsai in 1972. He has been collecting, growing, styling, and caring for bonsai for over 35 years. Scott owns and operates the Lotus Bonsai Nursery and Gardens near Coloma in El Dorado County. He has served as the president of several bonsai clubs and sits on the Statewide and National associations for bonsai.
