Thunderstruck Bonsai is teaming up 82°West Distilling to spread the joy of bonsai! Let’s grab a brew and create your very own miniature masterpiece!
Bonsai & Brews is a 2-hour workshop-style event hosted at local 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— 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 thinking about getting into the art of bonsai (or really enjoy brews) but don’t know where to start, book your ticket now!
Each Ticket Includes:
– A tropical species pre-bonsai tree
– Ceramic glazed bonsai pottery
– Instructions to style and care for your new bonsai tree
– Wire, bonsai soil, and substrate
– Use of all necessary tools provided
– Aftercare instructions and guidance
