Young Choe Kusamono Workshop-

This month we had the delight to have Young Choe, probably the foremost kusamono artist working in the United States, give a presentation and workshop at Crataegus Bonsai. Young studied with Keiko Yamane in Japan.

Thanks for coming, Young! Everyone left giddy with info and the passion to make their own kusamono.

Here are some photos of the presentation and workshops:
