Bonsai Gatherings
Our official MHBS clubhouse, pfm bonsai in West Charlton, has announced some exciting upcoming events to soldier us through spring.
February features a Shitakusa/Kusomono Workshop on the 21st, an Art of Wiring lesson on the 27th, and Accent Pot Making at the monthly MHBS meeting on the 28th.
March brings out the trees with an Amur Maple Shohin Bonsai Workshop on the 5th, a Blended Tree Shohin Bonsai Workshop on the 6th, and a Father/Son Larch Bonsai Workshop on the 12th.
Also, Monday Night Bonsai get togethers will resume in March. Join club members at pfm bonsai for an evening with our two favorite food groups—bonsai and pizza. No cost, just a small contribution for the pizza. Please email Pauline by Monday morning so she has a food count.
Curious guests are always welcome at our club meetings and are also welcome to inquire about workshops. To learn more, contact Pauline at 518-882-1039 or by email at pauline@pfmbonsai.com.
Wire Your Larch Workshop
Your larch bonsai are bored. There they sit in the snow waiting for spring. It’s time to spice up their winter with a good wiring, and Sunday’s the time to do it.
Join MHBS at 12 noon this Sunday, January 31 at pfm bonsai, for a brief larch wiring program by Pauline and an afternoon of wiring your larch or whatever else needs new wire. If your trees are frozen you can still wire it but save the bending until spring. Bring trees, tools and wire. If you need wire, the studio is fully stocked with copper and aluminum. Nothing to wire? Come and watch or buy something new to work on. Trees from Pauline’s greenhouse may be kept in the greenhouse until spring.
Feel free to bring something to share for the group’s lunch. Club members, pay your 2016 dues, sign up for workshops, MABS or ABS, socialize, and see 2015’s events in review on the big TV.
As always, guests are welcome.
Not the sharpest tool in the box?
David Knittle has the cure. Join MHBS for a November 22 Tool Sharpening Workshop with David Knittle at PFM Bonsai in West Charlton. Bring your dull tools and watch David make them sharp again. Visitors are welcome so it’s a great time to check out the club.
And there’s more! Larch wiring and pottery making workshops mark our march into 2016 and winter activities.
