Bring Your Own Tree Workshop
“Hello bonsai friends!
My name is David Easterbrook. I've been a bonsai artist for over 50 years. I started studying the art of bonsai in the 80s. I headed to Japan to be mastered by Isao Shinkai.
I then became the Curator of the collection of the Montreal Botanical Garden - a job I fulfilled for nearly 30 years. I am now retired but I stay busy taking care of my personal collection of over 700 specimens and teaching all over North America.
I am also the founder and former president of the Montreal Bonsai & Penjing Society. It's a great organization composed of 400 passionate members.
I pretty much dedicated my life to this wonderful art and now I'd like to share it with as many people as possible!” – David Easterbrook
Whether you're a seasoned bonsai enthusiast or a novice tree lover, this event promises to offer plenty of learning and engagement. It's a wonderful opportunity to meet Canadian Bonsai Master, David Easterbrook, and learn from his teaching and styling.
This event provides a platform for participants to bring their own tree and learn about design, care, and techniques to improve your bonsai tree. You'll have the expert guidance of David Easterbrook, who will take individual time to assist you while you work on your tree. This is truly a rare, exciting, hands-on opportunity to work with the renowned Bonsai Master.
So, pack up your favorite young tree, bring your tools and supplies (some wire will be available) and join us for this enlightening workshop! We look forward to welcoming you and your bonsai to the 'Bring Your Own Tree Workshop'.
The workshop format will be informal, round robin style with David Easterbrook providing guidance to your level, and will be offered for the amazing price of $40. Seating will be limited to the first 10 people who sign up and pay.
