Will Baddeley Bonsai Workshops

When getting back into the hobby just over two years ago there was wealth of information on the WWW. Where this was a great inspiration I feel hands on learning with great artists is in my opinion has really moved my experience and skills on so faster.

I feel lucky to have a great artist close at hand where I attend workshops regularly  with Robert Anderson and a good friend who has kept my horticultural skills right with Malcolm Brown (and some cracking digging days).

After attending my third workshop with Will and Simon I thought it was about time to share some good times.
     
Arriving at my first workshop Will would critique each tree and suggest options for improvement.
