| PICKING THE PERFECT POT Program co-chair Terry Bishop says: Since repotting time is upon us, our March program will be all about Bonsai pots. This will include: history of pots, a slide show featuring some very old pots as well as newer pots, and even some more modern concepts for the "new millennium." Our featured speaker will be Tom Kedrok of Five Stone Garden Bonsai in Prior Lake. (If you have not visited Tom's nursery you are missing out.) Tom will be covering many aspects of bonsai pots including selection, color, shape, size, proportion, depth and more, as it relates to the tree that you may want to display. He will also talk about some of the pottery artists who are currently producing pots, including our own Sara Rayner in Red Wing. Besides having a great facility and lots of trees to choose from, Tom has had many years in the Bonsai world not only as a vendor, but more importantly, as an artist and teacher. He hosts numerous classes from beginner to advanced students, and has quite a few years of experience judging shows including the Iowa State Fair. Join us as Tom acts as our guide to bonsai pottery. And come earlier than 7:00 to see what the vendors have to offer, buy tickets for the raffle prizes, ask for new stuff at the library table, and grab a beverage for the show. |
