Been waiting for this maple to start turning 🙂
Well, there wasn’t really a day 4, it was the day Peter flew home, but we did manage to pop down to Stephen’s House [bonsai Baker] for a look around.
Check out the colour on his Arakawa Maple. The colour had even deepened from the Friday night meeting.
Sunday was a smaller affair with the workshop limited to four of which I was one. Here are the photos. I haven’t added my trees here as I plan to post these with a little more information. As time permits I’ll be putting some video together showing Peter’s thoughts on trees from the weekend. In the mean time, you’ll have to make do with this.
Only getting around to uploading the weekends Photos.
This Gallery is from the Saturday workshop with Peter Warren and shows the action as well as many of the trees before during and after. Participants were a mixture of beginners and hardcore members with a variety of trees both raw and established. If I had time I’d add some text explaining what’s going on but to be honest I’m absolutely shattered!!
I think we can safety say that the weekend was a success and Peter is most definitely worth having along for a workshop.
Peter Warren first day In Photos….
A visits to Phil’s bonsai, or are they Frankies?! 🙂
And then some snaps of the meeting. 30+ members turned up for what was a great night. Some great shots of Peter break dancing. 😆 Roll on the Workshops.
Peter Warren arrives in Northern Ireland for the first time today, and I have the pleasure of having him as a house guest until Monday.
He’ll be doing a talk/tree critique at the club tonight for the members and then my garage will be put to full use on Saturday and Sunday with workshops. The camera will be out as usual and so will the camcorder. I’m sure he will be on his best behaviour 😉
I’ll endeavour to keep the blog up-to-date with the goings on, but as you can imagine, it’ll be a busy few days for me to. As I know my wife will read this, I just want to thank her for putting up with all these hairy-arsed bonsai folk appearing in the house, not you Peter, I’m sure yours is peachy 😆
Peter working hard. hope he’s not expecting material like that here!!
A few shots from my Sunday walk. As you can see, the star of the show was my dog Smudge 🙂

If you haven’t stumbled across merlin’s youtube channel, it’s worth a look. Here is his latest offering.
For those looking for a closer look at some of the trees and accents in yesterday’s post about the Kanagawa Exhibition, here you go 🙂
I have been admiring the shohin displays on one of the Japanese Blogs that I follow. I have been allowed to share these with you here. Taken at the Kanagawa Union Bonsai Exhibition. This is an amateur exhibition with trees from several clubs in the Kanagawa area.
