Different workshops will be held during the year. These workshops will be held by different bonsai artist and will cover different subjects regarding bonsai. Bookings are essential as the size of the group will be restricted to allow good communication between the group and the lecturer.
These workshops will consentrate more on the practical part of the subject, since there is more than enough on the subject written on the internet. References to bonsai websites and related articles will be supplied.
Workshops can also be a good team building experience and also make a great gift.
