Bonsai and Brews at 3 Daughters Brewing
Experience the art of bonsai, let’s grab a brew and create your own miniature masterpiece. Join us for Bonsai & Brews at 3 Daughters Brewing! Thunderstruck Bonsai is teaming up with local breweries to spread the joy of bonsai!
Bonsai & Brews is a 2-hour workshop-style event hosted by Thunderstruck Bonsai, in collaboration with your favorite breweries, providing a DIY bonsai experience for beginners. We start off by educating you on the basics of bonsai, then we’ll get down to business: break out some tools and give you an overview of the process. You’ll choose a ceramic bonsai pot and a pre-bonsai tree, and it’s time for some hands-on fun! You will pot your own bonsai, practice pruning techniques, and more— all while sipping on a cold one!
No experience or tools required – This event is open to everyone, and all skill levels: from beginners who’ve never touched a tree branch before to green thumbs and gardeners alike. Let’s explore the art of bonsai with seasoned experts who love working on their tiny trees in front of strangers. If you’ve been curious about bonsai (or really enjoy brews) but don’t know where to start, book your tickets now!
