Bjorn Bjorholm - Melbourne 3-8 September 2015

Post by DavidN »

Hi all

Bonsai Northwest in Melbourne would like to proudly announce that Bjorn Bjorholm will be in Melbourne from 3-8 September 2015. I'm sure many of you are no strangers to his awesome work which is showcased heavily on YouTube and throughout social media.

Bjorn will be conducting workshops and a demonstration at Bonsai Northwest during this period.

Workshops are open to everyone and we welcome all Victorian bonsai enthusiasts to take part. I have attached the brochure and signup form for Bjorn's workshops.

We will be have a demonstration at our normal meeting night which will be FREE to all.

In the meantime, book your workshop and observer spots asap as we are sure they will fill up fast.

Let me know if you have any questions.

David

I'm looking forward to this! Was lucky enough to meet him in Japan - a super nice bloke and certainly knows his stuff.

Hi kez,
Thanks for the positive feedback. I did try to organise the larger Sydney clubs to take on Bjorn's visit but their calendars were already full this year.

Hi Jase,
Looking forward to seeing you at the demo and/or workshops.

Hi Boics,
I've always been a huge fan of Bjorn's work and watching his 40 plus videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/bjorvalabonsai
Also his recent 5 week trip to Europe saw some exception trees styled. All can be seen on his Facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/bjorn.bjorholm.3
At Bonsai Northwest we always want to give back to our members for their support by bringing out an exceptional artist to the club every few years.

Thanks
David

Hi All
We had the best week in bonsai having Bjorn here working at the club. 8 workshops (65+ trees), a demonstration attended by over 120 people, along with Bjorn's incredible artistic ability, humble nature and being able to finish ALL trees in workshops, had everyone raving about this being the greatest experience in bonsai they have had and one of the best bonsai artists they have ever seen.

I have posted a few of the Before and After pics of workshop trees. Our club website has extensive photos of the event. Hope you enjoy.
