Bill is having a great time in China at the moment but at the end of this month he will be in Western Australia Perth to be exact. You are all invited to a weekend with Bill.

Where you ask in Belmont

So hope to see all WA people there it is free to observe, if you wish to do a workshop, as a none member it will cost you.

Cheers Pup

Have put my name down for the Cascade workshop Just need to pop into the Bonsai Emporium to pick up some suitable stock

Would have loved to do a workshop on Literati, as that style really interests me (despite it being one of the hardest), but I don't think I'll be able to find stock as easily

Cannot wait, will be great to meet him in person

Hi,
Pup is it ok to bring semi-cascades or should we bring full cascades? Maybe I should bring a couple?

I've got a nice lilly pilly I would like to bring, but its destined for a semi.

His take on semi cascade, is that all cascades are cascades, so yes it would be OK.

Thanks pup
I vaguely remember something like that mentioned last time he was here, but I was so green at the time alot of what he said went way over my head.

Just a friendly reminder for those that haven't booked in yet, you don't want to miss this amazing oppurtunity!



Will be my first time meeting Bill, and my first workshop as well, so am VERY excited (and a touch nervous!) Really looking forward to it

Very excited about tomorrow Am hoping that I might be able to sneak away to check out the Sunday one too

Pup - I recommend that everyone who can possibly get along to do so as opportunities are limited for such experiences.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of a workshop with Bill that was hosted by the Canberra Bonsai Society and it was a hoot. Bill was great. I had a tree that I wasn't really in love with but he did some work ( and I did a lot of work) and now the tree is back on the bench - love has returned.
OK I did the wiring and Bill did all the artistic work but I am really pleased with the result. It still needs a lot of refinement but it is certainly on the way.
The point is, get along and learn.
