Martin Schmalenburg Does Pines

November 7, 2012 at 9:23 am · Filed under Events, MHBS, PFM Bonsai, Pine, Workshops and tagged:

A packed house last weekend at PFM Bonsai for Martin Schmalenburg’s Pine Immersion Workshop wherein we learned the zen of pines from a recognized master. A thorough lesson on both the practical and spiritual sides of the species was followed by hands-on styling that went the whole day. Much lively discussion and debate. If you weren’t there, you missed it.

Martin Schmalenberg Pine Immersion Workshop Nov. 4

October 21, 2012 at 4:08 pm · Filed under Events, MHBS, PFM Bonsai, Pine, Workshops and tagged:

Fall and winter are the time to work on pines and we know these trees demand a special skill set. Who better to learn from than a guy whose pines keep winning awards? Martin Schmalenberg’s pines win lots of them and during his all-day Pine Immersion Workshop on November 4, he’ll show us how he does it.

The day begins with Marty’s comprehensive lesson on pines, followed by personal consulting and help with your trees. Bring a lunch, tools and wire, and one or more of your pines to work on, or select one from PFM Bonsai or Marty’s workshop trees. The Pine Immersion Workshop is $90 and runs from 9am to 4pm on Sunday, November 4 at PFM Bonsai in Charlton.

To register, call 518 882 1039 or email Pauline Muth at  Pauline@pfmbonsai.com. Checks should be made out to Martin Schmalenberg.
