SUMMARY:June Program: John Romano - Japanese Red Pine Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Guest Artist: John Romano.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe welcome John Romano back to our club. John visited us last year for a presentation on Shohin and a workshop. John is a great guy and is a regular instructor at New England Bonsai. \n\n\n\nOur June meeting is a two-part program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNOTE: THIS WORKSHOP IS CURRENTLY SOLD OUT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMorning Session: 10 am (arrive by 9:30) – 12:30 pm \n\n\n\nIn our morning session John will instruct a group of participants in the initial styling of Japanese red pine in literati style. He has sourced for us some excellent 15 to 20-year-old seed grown Japanese red pines. They are 24 to 36 inches tall and thin trunked\, perfect for literati design. In the morning\, there will be a workshop to do the initial styling in a literati style. \n\n\n\nThis is superior material and the cost of the workshop is $175 for dues paid members. This includes the tree and expert one-on-one instruction in a very small group setting. Other members are welcome as silent observers only. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfternoon Session: 1 pm – 4 pm \n\n\n\nIn the afternoon\, John is going to do a unique presentation and demo about creating Shohin bonsai from various types of material\, including from seed\, cuttings\, and reducing larger trees. He will also be doing a demonstration of air layering. \n\n\n\nAir layering is a wonderful technique that can be used with many types of trees. It’s one of those things that every practitioner should have in their toolbox and I’m very excited that John will be doing a demo. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Romano Bio\n\n\n\nJohn has been teaching bonsai classes and private students at New England Bonsai Gardens since 2000. He founded the Kaikou School of Bonsai New England Bonsai Gardens in 2009. He has studied under many teachers over the years and notably at Taisho en in Shizuoka\, Japan with shohin bonsai master\, Nobuichi Urushibata. \n\n\n\nJohn has been published in various bonsai publications such as Bonsai Today\, International Bonsai\, ABS Bonsai\, and BCI Bonsai Magazine. He wrote a regular column for International Bonsai Magazine on shohin bonsai called ‘A Little Magic with Shohin Bonsai’. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote: Please enter through the retail store. At the rear of the store is a door that leads to a staircase to the second floor meeting space. There is an elevator at the rear of the building. There is plenty of parking. Gardener’s only asks that we do not park directly in front of the store. Generally there will be a member at the front entrance to guide people. Gardener’s Supply is a 100% smoke free property so please make sure you leave Gardener’s property (that includes the parking lot) for a smoke break.
