This Saturdays workshop with Chris Thomas was a great event for Swindon Club members and all our workshops are part of your annual membership at no extra cost so it is well worth attending these and this one was no exception from the expertise and advice provided by Chris on the day.
We had a good turn out for the day with many club members bringing in a wide range of tree species and sizes of bonsai trees in various stages of development to work on with Chris. He was able to help with styling, health and maintenance advice as well as carving.

Tonight was a short talk by Paul Bowerbank on ‘Root over rock’ and Spring workshop, it was a fun evening and lots to talk about. Here are a few images from the evening.
SO, another club Saturday workshop run by Robert, a wealth of knowledge that he wishes to pass onto the other club members. I certainly learnt a few things. It was planned as a conifer re potting day but anything was worked on and discussed. Here are a few photos of the day. A lovely picea developed from basic stock with a few sacrificial branches…….. can’t wait to see how this one matures.
