Flying home today from the SF part of my Portland trip (Artisans Cup) and time is compressed, so I’ll borrow a little something from Mary Miller’s Bonsai Banter:
“I was searching for Collin Lewis’ website. While browsing, I discovered Colin on Craftsy.com giving a video lesson. The ‘Bonsai Wiring Essentials’ is listed as free. I watched the entire program.”
“Colin is a talented author and speaker, as well as bonsai artist. His easy going, clear instructions will answer all of your questions about wiring your bonsai.
Best wire and tools? Copper or aluminum and the difference? How long to leave it on? Mistakes to avoid. It’s an excellent program.
He has another Craftsy program ‘Bonsai Design Techniques.’ This includes 7 HD video lessons with anytime, anywhere access, downloadable class materials, including bonsai design exercises, hours of close-up instruction, answers from Colin in the virtual classroom. Well worth the 39.99 price! “
Even though I’ve only viewed the intro, knowing Colin I’ve no doubt that it’s very good and I’m confident to recommend it. And thank you Mary Miller for the tip.
Again here’s Mary Miller: Colin Lewis “has another Craftsy program ‘Bonsai Design Techniques.’ This includes 7 HD video lessons with anytime, anywhere access, downloadable class materials, including bonsai design exercises, hours of close-up instruction, answers from Colin in the virtual classroom. Well worth the 39.99 price! “
Speaking of Bonsai Wire…
Our Kilo Wire Sale is a great deal

I don’t know when or where you will ever find prices this good
Our New Annealed Copper Bonsai Wire
is made in the U.S. and is also a very good deal
1 lb coils only 24.00
Thanks for that finding. The lesson about wiring is one of the best free lessons I saw so far. Informative, and it is not only about how, but also why and what are the principles and consequences. Just great. Thanks again.
AND right now today … Bonsai Techniques is on SALE for 24.99 … not a bad deal … I looked at the first one and it is well worth the price of admission!
Not sure how long the sale lasts …
