Developing each tree step by step.

Light pruning, reduction cuts and thinning are part of the June programme. The appropriate steps for each bonsai depend on its condition and future development. These photographs record work on a range of deciduous and coniferous trees and the stages reached during the workshop. Each tree is considered individually and developed through discussion.

Trees and starting points.

The photographs show a range of deciduous and coniferous trees. Conversations consider each tree's current form and possible next steps.

Work and exchange.

Individual trees are worked on at the table. The photographs show close observation, hands-on work and conversations about their further development.

Stages of development.

Individual portraits and group photographs record the different trees and their development during the June workshop.
