    Description

    If we are to create our own national or regional identity in bonsai, then surely that should include having our own potters create the pots is a must? Why is still considered more prestigious to use old Japanese and Chinese containers when there are potters across Europe whose quality matches the pots coming out of Japan?

    I had a regular column in the Bonsai Focus magazine for many years, writing about all aspects of bonsai from discussions about exhibiting, Bonsai as therapy, Women in bonsai, Judging, Carving, ethics on yamadori and many more issues. Here I read some of the columns. They are never more than 10 minutes long and I welcome discussion about these podcasts. Prizes include: My first Ginkgo award in 1997, In 2017 I won “Best Deciduous Bonsai” at the prestigious Noelanders Trophy in Belgium. In October 2018 I won a Bonsai Clubs International excellence award, only one of three presented that year.
