Well done Tony, you certainly do Australia proud, I said it before we do have the artist's here.
Maybe not the massive stock availability of other countries.

We do have very good stock in our natives. Just have to give them a go.

Good luck for the future hope it is well patronised.

Cheers Pup

Definately agree with Pup, amazing work Tony!

I seem to be on the wrong side of the country for all these amazing things that are happening! But best of luck to you and the school anywa, if I was staying there, I'd definately be signing myself up in an instant!

Congratulations Tony,

I am really pleased to see that you have started your Bonsai School.

I wish you and your students all the best and look forward to seeing the results from time to time. I also hope you unearth a real gem or two of a student from time to time and polish them to perfection.

Grant

Great work tony. Will have to give you a call. Thanks for posting. Mia

Thanks All

Starting smaller than I would like but starting none the less. First class has bookings and will be running on Nov 2nd. Start that stone rolling.

Me too. Already got one young fellow and a couple of older ones 'apprenticed' to be long term students. Some great young Bonsai talent around.

Would be a dream come true to get something like this on the west coast.
Good chance I'll end up flying over next year for a full day intensive, or something of the nature

Congratulations Tony and good luck with the success of your 'latest' venture, although I doubt very much you will need any luck.

As for the 'slow start'. Mate, Rome wasn't built in a day you know. I am sure, once word gets out there that you are giving tution you are going to end up busier than a one armed paper hanger in Beirut mate. The shame of it is that you are preaching to the converted (mostly) on here, but one or two classes down the road I am sure those people, not deep into Bonsai now, are going to know who you are.

Going to have to catch up soon as well, it's been to long.
