This Sunday - UKBA Heathrow Bonsai Show 2024! This bustling event is different from your average show, as it hosts displays from 40 UK bonsai clubs!! .. and with 30 traders, it is a great place to find trees, pots, and all your bonsai necessities!
Heathrow has a special place in my heart, and is the only event I've exhibited trees at. A few years ago I displayed 20 of my own trees on behalf of my club (pictured). As a club show, it is always busy and is a place to catch up with everyone.  Come over early & don't miss out on the fantastic range of pots & furniture from your favourite European artists. There will be some excellent Japanese pots available and a few treats from my own private collection.
I very much look forward to seeing you all on Sunday!! Be sure to come over and say hi! ... Better still, bring me over a coffee and you can have 10% off your purchase!

Exquisite entries from 33 of Europe's most talented bonsai potters were featured this year, in the EBPC Pot Display at the prestigious 'Trophy Bonsai Exhibition' over a magnificent 100ft display. The quality and diverse variety of entries this year was particularly impressive, with entries ranging from the classical styles, to cutting edge techniques and contemporary themes. We will look at the display in full in another article.  The winning entry was this striking wide-rim ceramic pot with a Lotus-shaped form and bespoke wooden base, by Fukurou Ceramics of Switzerland. The pot has a wonderful blue/green aquamarine glaze, with impressive crystal nucleation. The lower part of this piece is an intricate, structurally designed wooden base that the pot inserts seamlessly into. Also made by the artist, the structure and inlay technique used here, further showcase his exceptional and varied talents. Fukurou bonsai pots are made and finished with great care and attention to detail and are popular with some of Europe's leading bonsai artists.       ... From Fukurou's EBPC Potter Profile: 'Fukurou Ceramics are the bonsai ceramic creations of Patrik Luthi, a gifted artist from the picturesque country of Switzerland. These high-quality handmade pieces have a touch of the Japanese aesthetic, yet retain a distinctive ‘Fukurou’ style. Designs are inspired by classical forms and are very suitable for use with good quality bonsai trees. ‘As with bonsai, I feel mostly attracted by the traditional pots, but love to develop new glaze recipes and new shapes.’ Being the grandson of a woodsman, and having grown up around the woods, mountains and lakes of Switzerland, Patrik has always had a close affinity with nature and has kept bonsai for over a decade. Studying at the renowned Kitoras Bonsai School under Nicola Crivelli, Patrik has developed a keen eye for bonsai design and aesthetics – an essential requisite for creating high quality bonsai ceramics. Pots are mostly thrown on a potter’s wheel, or slab built and come in a variety of forms. Unglazed wares come in a range of clays, including a wonderful dark grey, and a reddish-brown clay. No commercial glazes are used, as Patrik enjoys experimenting and creating exciting new glazes.' Thank you to Patrik, and all of the talented artists that contributed to the magnificent display of bonsai ceramics this year. Please look out for the coming post on the Pot Display. Thank you for following and supporting the EPBC.
