Aug 16 – 17: 36th Annual Mid-America Bonsai Exhibit by the Midwest Bonsai Society. The guest artist is Bjorn Bjorholm a talented American apprentice at Keiichi Fujikawa’s Kouka-en bonsai nursery.
Sept 7 – 8: Bonsai Bash at Greenwood Bonsai Studio. It’s hard to argue with a free large yamadori demo by Corin. BTW: Greenwood is, among other things, one of three places in the UK that offers our Stone Lantern Bonsai Books.
Sept 12-15: For the Love of Bonsai. This looks like a good one. It features, among other things, an excellent group of bonsai teachers and demonstrators including Enrique Castaño and Andy Smith (we have a ulterior motive for mentioning these two).
A collected Black Mangrove (Avicennia germinans) that happens to be the cover tree Botany for Bonsai by Enrique Castaño. Enrique is one of the headliners at For the Love of Bonsai (above).
This Mountain hemlock with fern is by Michael Hagedorn, one of North America’s premier bonsai artists. Michael is a headliner at the South Africa Bonsai Association Convention.
Oct 24 – 27: South Africa Bonsai Association Convention 2013 is being hosted by Eastern Bonsai Societies (EBS) and features our Michael Hagedorn, the inimitable Walter Pall and Rob Kepinski.
Oct 31 – Nov 2: Golden State Bonsai Federation Convention XXXVI—Bonsai Artist Studio: OUTSIDE THE BOX. I think you’ll kick yourself if you miss this one. Especially if you live within a few thousand miles of Los Angeles (most def if you live within a few hundred miles). A very big part of the reason why is the impressive list of headliners: Dave DeGroot, Suthin Sukosolvisit, Peter Warren, Mauro Stemberger, Kathy Shaner, Tom Elias and Sean Smith.
Nov 30 – Dec 1: Eda Uchi Kai Bonsai-Ten 2013 in Belgium. I know most of you can read Flemish, but just in case, here’s something in English about what promises to be a great bonsai event. The headliners are Kevin Willson (UK), Enrico Savini (IT), François Jeker (FR), Márcio Meruje and Viriato Oliveira from Portugal.
August 2014: Sunrise on Australian Bonsai. Planning ahead just a bit. This looks like a good one with some world-class headliners. We’ll say more when it gets a little closer
October 2014: Planning even further ahead. I’m already excited about next year’s International Bonsai & Culture Biennale. I’ve long wanted to visit Indonesia and now I have no excuse. As an extra plus, our friend Robert Steven is the driving force behind this one (his show website is under construction, but meanwhile you can visit the Internet Bonsai Club for details).
Thanks for posting our next year event, Wayne.
Although our website is still under construction, we have speeded up to make the basic information available at http://www.internationalbonsaibiennale.com
Too many exciting program under coordination..and too many thing to explore in Yogyakarta…
