Here is a quick update. Wiring is slow and steady. His method is exactly what I needed to learn at this point on my Bonsai journey. I am rather slow in comparison to many in the study group. I am learning the concepts which are not difficult but easy to forget and mess up. Photos are of a sketch Mauro had drawn, and this is the tree about 1 hr into the workshop.
Off to start day two. Mauro is 100% worth the investment, wish I would have more time with his guidance.
Pepperoni Bonsai!
