Frank Heidt did an amazing workshop on urban Bonsai at Jigsaw Renaissance this past Saturday. He talked about his training; the art, theory, and history behind Bonsai; and how to get involved in this amazing art with little to no money. Frank took pruning sheers, wires, and power tools (!!!) to the tree to make a work of art.
Kayobi took pictures and Pip took video.

Clicking the image will take you to more, the video link will take you to the first of five.
Frank looks forward to coming back to give us another demonstration, and has graciously offered to auction off the tree at the Pacific Northwest Bonsai Auctionwhen it is ready (maybe not this year, but sometime!).
Looking at art is great. Making art is better. - Frank
You can find out more about upcoming events at Jigsaw by visiting the calendar. We encourage people to drop by the space at 1026 Madison St any time we're open (working on set hours, but someone is usually there any evening, and all day on weekends) and say hello!
