NIWAKI and BONSAI Workshop

Today at KOKI Village, we spent an inspiring day full of knowledge, exploring the art of Niwaki and Bonsai in greater depth.

We began the morning with philosophy, with a lecture led by Inga Valtere, founder of “Ziemeļu Bonsai”. We gained valuable insight into how and why we shape trees, searching for a balance between nature, tools and the human hand.

After a delicious lunch together, theory gave way to hands on practice.

Under the guidance of Edgars Neilands and Aigars Priede, we learned how to shape different conifers by pruning, bending and discovering the unique character of each plant.

Thank you to everyone who took part for your enthusiasm and for sharing the day with us!
