The School of Bonsai – Year 3

Students in the third year should now feel confident in their understanding of the total transformation from raw stock material to specimen-grade bonsai. Based on their exhibited abilities, students may have the opportunity to implement projects on a tree from Bonsai West’s specimen collection, or they may continue working on their own material. Year 3 is a self-directed course, and students will be encouraged to work on projects that align with their concentration of study.

The School meets once every month: 6 Full-Day Seminars and 6 Evening Guided Workshops.

Seminar/All-day Classes
The Seminar covers more challenging and abstract content. Throughout the year, each student will be dedicated to expanding on their own desired topics.

Workshop/Half-day Classes
The Workshop is an opportunity for students to work directly with Zuma. Bringing their own trees for study, students will document and develop their trees to elevate their personal bonsai collection.
