Workshop with Enrico Savini

Last weekend we went to Italy to participate at a two day workshop with Enrico Savini. As always we had a great time, lots of fun and of course hard work on trees with intensive learning.

What can be better than that....three friends spend three great days in Italy with other bonsai enthusiasts. On the first day we had a workshop with Enrico Savini and the learning process that never ends goes on.

Workshop with Hans Van Meer

Last weekend I had a great time with my friends from the Slovenian Bonsai Club at a workshop with Hans Van Meer. It was a one day workshop with a great atmosphere, positive energy, laugh, fun, lots of new information and knowledge. 

Among analysing each tree and helping working on them, Hans demonstrated his famous "Van Meer technique" for closing wounds on deciduous trees. The day passed by in a blink and It was truly a  great day worth to be remembered.
