I liken today’s workshop to peeling an onion-without the tears, of course!
Having attended a number of these workshops I feel a growing confidence in my bonsai skills, with Scott’s generous sharing of his deep knowledge and practical assistance in the art of bonsai. There is always another layer of knowledge gained from the work done and conversations had & I walk away with bonsai that look all the better.
Thanks again Scott

Fantastic experience with Scott in the private workshop recently.
I had two trees I needed some guidance with; One an old maple in a rebuild stage that I wanted to have a discussion about more than work on it, and really appreciated being able to have Scott take a look at it with his experience and develop a plan together for it one on one.
The other a pine I had no idea about how to style and gave him pretty much free reign with, and the result far exceeded my expectations for the very humble piece of material.
Highly recommend the private workshop if you are stuck with a tree or need the extra one on one time for discussion of a particular tree

This mornings workshop was another gem learning experience, thank you. I enjoyed creating my bonsai design -a first for me. Your workshops are such a calm environment even though we are all busy challenging ourselves. Your repeated messages reinforce our knowledge acquisition & skills development & guide our endeavours. I encourage anyone who wants to develop bonsai with beauty & form to try a workshop-you won’t be disappointed.

I have been coming to Scott’s classes & workshops since he started teaching about bonsai. During that time my trees have been transformed. It seems that no problem with style or health of the tree is too difficult to rectify! He is always willing to answer questions, to give advice and to take on more difficult aspects of working with trees.
Scott’s enthusiasm, knowledge and enjoyment of bonsai are infectious. I would highly recommend anyone learning about bonsai from him.

Thanks to the isolation created by the Corona virus Scott created video link one on ones so along with his expert advice I could still work on my trees and continue their progress.
Although not knowing how it would go I had my first workshop tonight, it was fantastic and I came out of it extremely satisfied.
Scott has such a good system set up in his workshop with 3 different cameras /views so he could look at my tree close up or I could look at his instruction on the whiteboard but for me the best thing by far is it forces the student to work on his/her own tree, well Scott can’t do it, and this is hands down the best way to learn especially if you need confidence in any area of bonsai.I have now done my first 2 jins – great stuff.
The system is easy to set up and use, I hooked up with my laptop with no issues whatsoever so don’t let isolation prevent you from our bonsai workshops as this is a perfect way to diversify under the current conditions we are facing.
Well done ScottI will be booking my second video workshop soon.
Cheers

Hi Scott,
I just wanted to send you a short note to say how great I thought the video workshop went the other night. It was good to have a workshop that was focused on the issues that I was having at the start of autumn. I also thought an hour was a good length for the start of the year and I felt that we covered a good number of topics around my trees. I particularly liked the fact that you had multiple cameras set up so that you could show different aspects as we went. And it was very useful for you to have similar trees on hand to demonstrate techniques that I could then copy on my own trees.
I look forward to doing this again at the beginning of winter.
Regards,

Just wanted to let you know as a first timer to Bonsai, I found the session extremely informative and really met my expectations.
Your delivery method was excellent and I thought the session flowed seamlessly. There is no doubt I will contact you for advice, and to purchase some of my tools.
Bonsai is definitely for me!

I very much enjoyed the course on Saturday. It was really informative and seemed to be very suited to our level of knowledge. Your presentation was spot on and the whole morning exceeded my expectations. March 2018

It was fantastic to meet with you and see what you are doing. I appreciate also your willingness to share your knowledge.The trees are going GREAT! I have put them in a shady spot with filtered sun and look at them/admire them frequently. There’s new growth appearing on all the trees. I am really thrilled with your work.

See you in the near future.
