Greenwood <strong>Bonsai</strong> Studio<br />
7 th -8 th SEPTEMBER<br />
It is not long now until the 7 th & 8 th September and the annual <strong>Bonsai</strong> Bash at Greenwood <strong>Bonsai</strong> Studio, Nottingham.<br />
As the many who have attended this completely free event before will be aware this is an excellent opportunity to witness Corin Tomlinson<br />
styling larger bonsai than could usually be tackled in the time available at a normal club night. There will be an all day demonstration on the<br />
Saturday where Corin will work on a Japanese raw material Juniper and another all day demonstration on the Sunday working on a large<br />
imported Japanese white pine. As well as the demonstrations, we are pleased that Ashfield <strong>Bonsai</strong> Club are again, putting on an Exhibit <strong>of</strong><br />
some <strong>of</strong> their members bonsai.<br />
There will also be a display <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> Corin’s <strong>Bonsai</strong>, including some <strong>of</strong> the trees styled at previous <strong>Bonsai</strong> Bash events.<br />
Petra Engelke’s <strong>Bonsai</strong> Pot and Ceramics studio will be open and there will be a chance to see her doing outdoor Raku firings during the<br />
weekend.<br />
For those thinking <strong>of</strong> attending wondering how much spending money to bring there will be 10% <strong>of</strong>f all bonsai during the event!<br />
We will once again be holding Paul’s potty pot sale (discounted used and slightly damaged bonsai pots <strong>of</strong> all types and sizes at silly prices)!<br />
There will be food and refreshments available throughout the event too. We hope to welcome you to our Nursery for this year’s event –<br />
……..See you there !....Corin<br />
