Golden State
Bonsai Federation’s
XXIX Convention
November 2-5, 2006
Sacramento, CA
Convention Overview
We are very excited about our headliners, Masahiko
Kimura, Lindsay Shiba and Kathy Shaner. They are
familiar to almost everyone in the bonsai community
and they will give us instruction on the techniques
to refine our bonsai, bringing them to a higher
level of development.
There will be a change in some of the workshops,
in that the material will vary in size and value
determined by the workshop leader. Some of the
workshop leaders have over the years, developed some
very outstanding material. By utilizing this change
of having choices in your selection of material, you
will leave the completed workshop greatly satisfied.
Following convention policy, the workshop sign- up
will be on a “First-Come-First-Served” basis. We are
looking forward to great and satisfying workshops.
The following workshops will be offered: (if the
workshop has a *, this is the one with the varied
size and value. There will be a “Bring
your own tree” workshop with Masahiko Kimura, our
headliner, giving you an opportunity to bring your
best to the best. |
