Bonsai workshop September 2025 with Václav Stropek
01Reviewing a wired pine together at the September workshop.
Bonsai Kreativ workshop with Václav Stropek and Josef Rauscher in Münchendorf near Vienna, Austria. Late-summer workshops focus on removing old needles, thinning and wiring. With the shoots matured, work centres on clear branch structure and foliage pads. The work is chosen for each tree; this is not the season for pinching spring candles.
