Bumper Workshop

Post by Leigh Taafe »

Everyone is invited to my place this Sunday afternoon for a workshop.

You can bring your own tree, or work on one of the many well established bonsai I have here.

Get in touch if you want to come over!

My workshop is very comfortable - heaps of table and bench space, telly will be on, and as the day progresses, there will be a few beers on.
Cheers,
Leigh.

If you dont have anything to work on - it would be a great opportunity to work on some very old established bonsai with some expert tuition - free of charge.
Cheers,
Leigh.

You'd be surprised at what you can acheived when beer is on the table :) . Between Leigh, myself and another mate we made hundreds of bonsai's for Leigh's christmas sale last year. Mind you they were only production bonsai's.

Cheers
