We are very fortunate to be able to offer our members an opportunity to spend a couple of hours with Scott Martin. Scott has a significant bonsai presence both nationally and internationally through his Bonsai Matsu website, podcast and privately run workshops. He is a brilliant teacher, demonstrator and creator of excellent bonsai. Scott is a registered Association of Australian Bonsai Club (AABC) tutor and has extensively demonstrated at AABC Conferences, many interstate and local bonsai club demonstrations and workshops. Scott has recently returned from being an artist in residence at the National Bonsai and Penjing collection in Canberra and was a feature demonstrator at last year’s Perth AABC Conference. Scott is in great demand and how lucky are we to have Scott’s talent, skill, and masterful styling knowledge. There will be 2 sessions to choose from - a morning session and an afternoon session. Each workshop is limited to 8 participants.
