Here's the tree I'll be bringing along. It's a Buxus microphylla x. compacta var. Kingsville (AKA Kingsville Box).

There is plenty of carving to be done so I'll be packing my Dremel.

Looking forward to meeting and learning from you Tony. Thanks very much to Leigh, Shannon and all involved from the NBPCA for putting on bonsai week :tu:

Regards,
Steven

Just been in to see the pot expo.... A great display of the range of pots being made by Australian potters :tu: :

It's particularly great to see the work of potters that aren't out on the circuit that much. Love Boris's woodfired glazes and Luke P's textures, and great see the 42 mice pots, along with all the other very, very talented potters we have working here.

Thanks for organising Pat!

The raffia-ed tree looks like it's snapped at the bend, Did it crack?

Really great collected material provided for Tony to work on. I hope it survives the bend :clap: .

Thanks for the video, Tony seems like he'd make a great presenter, talkative, knowledgeable and charismatic as well.

I told myself I'd definitely be there this time last year, but with a new baby at home this was obviously off the cards, next year I'll move heaven and earth to get there.
