Shūchū Bonsai Group Workshops

This hands on workshop allows members to practice wiring, styling, carving, cutback, and repotting on their own trees while being guided step by step. Members will learn how to develop and maintain quality bonsai they love and can publicly display.

What To Bring To Workshops

Please bring several trees to work on. If you are unsure of what is appropriate to work on at the current season, Andrew is happy to help you. 

Come prepared with wire, your tool kit, soil if needed, and a beginner's mind. A basic bonsai tool kit includes: concave cutter, scissors, wire cutter, root hook, root rake, and pliers. Please bring any work stand and a comfortable work chair if you have one.

Members are required to participate in a minimum of nine workshops a year.

There is no charge for reserving a workshop space if you cancel one week before the start of the workshop.
