Club member’s first ever self made bonsai pot
What an amazing day, it has given us all a greater appreciation of the time, work and detail that goes into making bonsai pots. It was a lot of fun too; we were all engrossed in our pot making throughout the day and what made the day was David Jones from Walsall Studio ceramics. He is an excellent tutor and gave clear demonstrations of each stage of the pot making process, with a light-hearted and considerate approach.

Had fun at the Bonsai Traders show at Capel Manor on Sunday, some great displays of bonsai as well as a good selection of traders. It was combined with the home and garden show so it was well attended with a good atmosphere.
We are letting people know that at our next club meeting, on 30th June, is an auction of the remaining trees of our past Solent member the late Jon Sykes.
