The School of Bonsai – Year 3

<-- back to School of Bonsai main page

Students in the third year should now feel confident in their understanding of the total transformation from raw stock material to specimen-grade bonsai. In a self-directed course, students will be expected to create and execute a transformative project on a tree and demonstrate reasoning in artistic design.

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.
