SUMMARY:2026 The Art of Bonsai: August-Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Formal Upright Design Using a Sitka Spruce\nUsing our native Sitka Spruce species\, participants will learn how to create a classic Formal Upright bonsai design\, known in Japanese as Chokkan. This traditional style emphasizes a straight\, tapering trunk\, balanced branch placement\, and a strong sense of symmetry and stability. Through a combination of wiring\, pruning\, and careful structural refinement\, students will explore the techniques needed to develop and maintain this iconic bonsai form. \nAlong the way\, we will discuss design principles\, species-specific considerations for Sitka Spruce\, and the patience and diligence required to guide a tree toward its long-term artistic potential. This workshop is suitable for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts interested in refining their styling skills and deepening their understanding of formal bonsai design. \nThis workshop it will be held in the Gresham Japanese Garden’s beautiful Kyoudou Center at 219A S Main Avenue\, Gresham\, OR 97030. \nAll tools\, soil\, and materials will be provided. The workshop fee is $40\, plus $15 for tree\, container and additional supplies. \nGift certificates available here.
