Peter Adams Australian Tour 2011
Posted: January 21st, 2011, 9:42 am
Bonsai The Imagination Tree has been fortunate enough to secure a visit by talented and world renowned international bonsai artist, Peter Adams, as part of his Australian tour (This could possibly be his last working visit to Australia) in 2011.
While it is often necessary to make extensive (and expensive) travel arrangements for Bonsai minded people to participate in international and national workshops hosted in other parts of the world and in other states, we are very fortunate to be hosting Peter Adams (and his extremely bonsai talented wife, Kate) for the first week of August.
We will be hosting two full day workshops - one on Saturday 6 August and the other on Sunday 7 August .Numbers for all workshops are limited to just 8 participants. The workshops have scope to allow for observers (at a cost of $15 each per day). Coffee and tea will be provided.
We will be hosting a Wednesday evening presentation by Peter Adams on 10 August at a cost of $15 per person.
Peter conducts two workshop programs:
Intensive Course (Planned for Saturday 6 August 2011)
Limited to eight students per day, work should be limited to two trees per day per student. This ensures that everyone gets equal attention.
Each student receives a black and white drawing of the future design of the tree and detailed help with the specific horticultural steps needed to make quick progress with the individual tree. Emphasis is placed on artistic design and how this dictates the shaping process. The steps taken are always in terms of what is acceptable to the tree, but always with the eye on the future image. Cost is $175 per participant …
Full Design Program … Including Graphics Package (Planned for Sunday 7 August 2011)
The design programs are limited to eight students per day. They comprise a day of tuition, plus a graphics package including a personalized original color drawing of the future image of the tree - signed and stamped by Peter. These drawings are of framing quality and are widely collected.
Drawings are generated from photographs taken at the time, or supplied by the student. Also included is ‘how-to’ text with black & white line drawings as well as a complete horticultural profile. This is comparable to a complete workshop on paper. The graphics package is mailed later. Cost is $210 per participant…
We offer a lay by service for the Peter Adams Workshops. Normally there is a stronger preference for the Full Design Program. If this is the case we will run the Full Design Program on both days.
