Exclusive Kaya Mooney Workshop: Two-Species Bonsai Techniques (September 21, 2024)
Join Kaya Mooney for a hands-on workshop where you'll work on multiple pre-selected species (included in the price).
The species include a Dwarf Hinoki Cypress and a Rocky Mountain Juniper.
Dive into advanced techniques like heavy bending and wiring to carefully bend and shape branches for precise control over your tree's design.
You'll also explore Trunk Bending, an advanced method to create dramatic curves and movement, enhancing the tree's natural aesthetic.
Covering the fundamentals of wiring and developing the vision for style planning, this class is perfect for enthusiasts looking to elevate their bonsai skills in a supportive, collaborative environment.
About the Instructor
Kaya's expertise and dedication to bonsai are unparalleled. His deep-rooted passion and years of intensive study make him an exceptional teacher. This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from someone who has honed his skills at one of the most prestigious bonsai nurseries in Japan.
Most workshops are hands-on, allowing participants to work on their own bonsai trees and receive guidance from an experienced instructor.
These workshops can be a great way for bonsai enthusiasts to learn new skills, meet other bonsai enthusiasts, and improve their bonsai trees.
We have selected AWESOME plant material (Included with your fee) and will guide the transplanting and styling of your Bonsai.
