Austin Heitzman Visit

Friday Dinner Location: Smoky Mountain Pizza Park Center
Location of Saturday Presentation & Purchasing Opportunity: TBD

Description: we have Austin Heitzman coming to town. He is a famous professional stand-maker and fine furniture craftsman.
www.AustinHeitzmanFurniture.com
Bio: I craft timeless furniture that allows wood’s natural beauty to speak for itself. Many influences converged to make that happen —from my love of nature to growing up in Southeast Asia where I was first exposed to the art of bonsai. Through bonsai I explore the connection between nature and art. A great stand elevates any bonsai to a higher level and I am proud to have crafted stands for many award-winning trees. Bonsai taught me to utilize a board’s individual characteristics, especially defects, to suggest something greater than the material itself. I feel fortunate to be able to manifest what I value through my work—a deep appreciation of nature through authentic, well-made furniture.
He is headed to the Bonsai Central (https://bonsai-central.com/) event and is driving through Boise on the 26th. He will be staying the night (hosted by two of our members).
We will have a no-host dinner on the evening of the 26th. If any members are interested in joining us (Jon NEEDS your RSVP ASAP). This is on Friday the 26th Time TBD location Smoky Mountain Pizza Park Center.
Austin has graciously offered to sell stands and give us a presentation on Saturday morning (Location is TBD) time will be 9-11am.
This is a very rare opportunity to have someone deliver goods to us and also present on their method/pairing bonsai to the stand. Please RSVP and attend the event
Please reach out to Jon with any questions?!

BBS & IWGKS: 29th Annual Bonsai & Koi Show at Edwards Greenhouse

OR: Saturday, October 12, 2024
Move-In/Setup: 8:00am (trees!)
Public Show: 9:00am-4:00pm

Annual Bonsai & Koi Show, hosted by Edwards Greenhouse for 3rd year. Please prep and bring your trees for show and enjoy good company and demos. Please share this event & location with your friends! There is no fee to attend, so invite any and all friends who are interested in Japanese culture. Move-in will be at 8; please be right on time, as it really does take the full hour to get everyone's trees to look good together, and coming late to setup often requires reworking setup that has already been completed. Trees will be on display 9 until 4, and then tear-down happens immediately after the show closes.
