One week from now….

I’ll be getting on the boat to head over to the BSA Exhibition.

It’s been great to hear from folk on the forums who are making the trip up to Willowbog, quite a few by the looks of it. Looking forward to meeting some old friends [Boxy :-)] and some new ones. Quite a few that I know from the world wide web as well but have as yet never met face to face. God help them when they see my face 😀

… and the Sunday workshop

I’ll be going back over some of the trees worked on individually but in the mean time here’s another gallery for you to see the action.

It was a long day, workshop started at 10am and I think we sat down in front of an open fire at 8.15 pm.

Knackered!

I was seriously considering not posting at all to day but I can’t let a good run end so easily 🙂

Just spend a very busy 2 days hosting our Club Bonsai School and Workshop with Willowbog Bonsai. I’m shattered now and Peter is already away to bed. One of the main reasons was the wiring of Hugh’s Scots Pine. Phil helped a little with it on the day 😉

Back To School 2012

Just spent a few hours in the garage with the Bonsai Baker getting it sorted for this Weekends Bonsai School.

I can’t believe that it’s been a full year since our club started this event. Basically we bring Willowbog Bonsai to us three times a year. The Saturdays are a school based set up followed by a workshop on the Sunday. All the club members get to have a browse through Peter’s pots, tools, trees etc. This is no small thing for us as Northern Ireland doesn’t have anything even remotely approaching a Bonsai Dealer.

Anyway, here’s the garage after a little work, already to rock and roll.
