Come see visiting artist Young Choe, who specializes in kusamono. Kusamono is the art of potted accent arrangements featuring wild grasses and flowers displayed in unique pots or trays to suggest a season or a place to accompany bonsai. The artist Young Choe studied traditional art in Korea before moving to the United States and earning her BS in horticulture. She was active in volunteering at the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum, bringing her knowledge of horticulture and art together to create kusamono. Her passion for the arts took her to Japan to study with the master kusamono artist, Keiko Yamane. With her knowledge and experience, she enjoys conducting workshops and lectures globally to share her knowledge and passion. She will be conducting a hands on workshop to create a kusamono from start to finish.

Pots can be purchased separately from Gabriel Gonzalez, who will also be attending the workshop.
