Join us for a special workshop at the 2nd Annual Pikes Peak Bonsai Show with Francesco Vigorito, a Denver-based bonsai artist and apprentice to Todd Schlafer of First Branch Bonsai.

Francesco’s work leans into literati-influenced styling, with careful attention to line aesthetics and pad formation. His approach combines traditional techniques with an emphasis on developing healthy, natural-looking trees that were perfected by nature and crafted by man.

Bring your own tree for this hands-on workshop along with supplies (wire, tools, water, snacks).
