Being that we have Mr Peter Warren coming to talk to us at the September meeting I thought I would put up his website for you to check out. Here is some information about Peter from his website."I began to study under Kunio Kobayashi at his garden, Shunkaen, in Tokyo. Initially I was a sudent at his weekly class before I asked him if I could become his full time apprentice, a position I held for over four years before I had to leave. My time as an apprentice was an incredible learning experience and I was able to steal many techniques, ideas and aesthetic principles and make them my own. Until recently my entire bonsai experience has been in Japan, I entered my masters tutelage as an empty vessel, and during that time I worked hard to ensure that I made the most of a trying experience, not just in terms of bonsai technique but also as a person, learning not only the humility and patience that is necessary in bonsai but also the controlled self expression that will enable me to become an artist in my own right."
Peter is a great guy who I am pleased to have met. To top it off he likes my pots too. BONUS!
