The Bonsai Workshop conducted by Bonsai Master D Ravindran on July 6 was well attended. Mr Ravindran is an Advisor to Bodhi Bonsai. This was the first workshop by Mr Ravindran after the formation of BODHI – The Chennai Bonsai Association.
At the outset, Mr. Ravindran gave an illuminating talk on the various aspects of Bonsai creation.
Mr Ravindran then beautifully styled two Casuarina pre-bonsai plants brought by him into twin trunk & informal upright style Bonsai. He also styled a large Jade brought by a member into a semi cascade style.
There was a hands-on-session after lunch where 12 members participated. Each member was given a separate space to style their plant independently. Mr Ravindran went around and guided each member on how to select the right kind of pre-bonsai plant, discussed the style that suits their pre-bonsai plant and briefed them on pruning, wiring and every aspect of creating a pre-bonsai plant into a good Bonsai.
It was a rich learning experience not only to the participants of the hands-on-session, but even to others as they accompanied Mr Ravindran on his visit to each table and valuable tips were picked up.
After seeing the post in our Blog, few non-members too attended the Bonsai workshop. Four of them joined Bodhi Bonsai as regular members. They said that they had greatly benefited by the workshop and the way it was planned and executed.
A big 'Thank You' to all those who made this workshop a success.
