The other weekend, one of the Swindon newer members ‘Claudia’ attended a workshop at Beechfield bonsai nursery, run by Harry Harrington and his apprentices. Harry owner of Bonsai 4 Me and author of a number of books…… http://bonsai4me.com/shop/
Tonight was all about wiring and Mark Kerry did a talk on the principles of wiring followed by one-to-one guidance on wiring specific club members’ trees to aid with their own wiring.
Daryl Cogavin has for a while been producing quality bonsai scrolls with her own artistic style…….. much better than me with my chubby sticks. Her web site is https://darylsdrawings.weebly.com/bonsai-scroll-paintings.html
Click the images to inlarge………….. She has now decided to put extend her range of goods and branch out [see what I did there!!! Have you twigged yet] and reproduce owners trees into an Ink Drawing. You will see at the top, a comparison and a very good image.
This was done from a photograph of the tree, so you don’t even need to drive around the UK with the tree, so that she can reproduce it. Anyone wishing to have a tree drawing can contact her via her web site
https://darylsdrawings.weebly.com/contact-me.html to discuss tree/size of picture/prices……………….. don’t forget it will be Christmas soon and our other halfs never know what to get us??????
When finished they can be posted to you with a backing board, ready for you to get framed if you wish.
Tonight was another excellent lively discuss filled club night with lots of new members and new trees to talk about. Everyone was working on or discussing their bonsai trees and a lot of shared knowledge and information was being passed on.
The Saturday workshop was excellent with Chris Thomas and the day flew by with bonsai trees of all species and sizes being worked upon. Here is a selection of the bonsai trees being developed.
Acer palmatum development
Tonight the session was focused on discussing those trees that club members have no idea how to style or were in need of advice on, as everyone has had one of those bonsai trees at some stage in their bonsai hobby. It was a good evening with lots of discussion on a wide variety of species with ideas coming from many club members. The evening started off with a chat from our Chairman Paul who then introduced the topic and the discussion commenced.
