This evening Andy brought the Japanese black pines he has been growing with and for club members to show and discuss progress and possible future techniques. Club members were invited to have a go at working on them with pruning and wiring.
So what is happening in and around our area????
What a fun day, informative, creative and social learning about the art of accents and kusamono with Ritta and Mark Cooper.
Their extensive knowledge of bonsai, Japan and showing bonsai was incredibly useful explaining the key principles of what accents are, how to use and create them and what are the main considerations and concepts behind them.
