Join us for our annual celebration of the art of bonsai at Bonsai Reshaped 2024! This year we welcome internationally recognised artists Marija Hajdic from Croatia and Morten Albek from Denmark, to share their expertise, influences, experiences and enthusiasm through workshops and live demonstrations. Both professional artists carry the legacy of the bonsai masters into the future whilst developing and exploring the boundaries of the artform.

Come along to an interactive workshop and learn the essentials for creating, styling, and maintaining your very own bonsai. A unique opportunity to learn from our visiting artist Morten Albek and our expert curators of the National Bonsai and Penjing Collection of Australia.

Introducing Morten Albek - a bonsai expert with 30 years of experience and widely recognised for his work with Shohin bonsai (Shohin meaning 'a small thing').

A tree is considered a Shohin bonsai when 20cm or smaller. While the stature of Shohin is small, Morten's work and influence is grand and far reaching.

Morten has spread his knowledge far and wide, teaching students online via the Shohin Bonsai Online School since 2003, and has conducted live demonstrations and workshops all over the world.
