And it is a very delicate art indeed, like everything stemming from the country of rising sun. Skilled bonsai masters achieve the shrunken size of the plants by using techniques such as transplantation, pruning, wire fencing, clamping... The purposes of bonsai are mostly aesthetic contemplation (for the viewer) and the pleasant exercise of effort and ingenuity (for the grower).
This weekend, our Science Museum presents free educational exhibition and workshop for all audiences!
- Friday May 23th: 18:00 to 21:00
- Saturday May 24th: 10:00 to 21:00
- Sunday May 25th: 10:00 to 15:00
The
exhibition corresponds to the XVI Spring Exhibition by Seville Association of
Bonsai Chokkan. The exhibition will demonstrate
the approach to common techniques of this ancient art of growing trees and
plants. Members of the Association will present some of the Bonsai examples
over time. The professor Eduardo Hidalgo from the Association will hold a workshop
this Saturday on 24th of May at 11:30am, where he will show the entire
process of growing a bonsai tree from the scratch. A plant grown in a pot
during the right weather conditions but without receiving specific treatment
will be elaborated in parallel with the explanation by the expert. This activity is aimed to all audiences and
the entry is free until the seats are filled. In addition, all participants have the
opportunity to win a bonsai tree by taking part in the lottery that will take
place during the exhibition.
