We are very pleased to announce that Marija Hajdic will be visiting Sydney in early October and will conduct two workshops and a demonstration for BSA (a full day workshop on Monday 6/10 and a shorter workshop on Tuesday 7/10 before our demonstration that night). It is very exciting to have such an accomplished bonsai artist visit our club- details to follow.
Marija Hajdic is a talented bonsai professional from Croatia and is considered one of the most influential bonsai artists outside of Japan.
She has honed her craft over the past 20 years learning from bonsai professionals including Walter Pall and has a passion for deciduous yamadori.
Marija is well-known across Europe and the international convention circuit. Her frequent displays trees at many of Europe’s premier exhibitions, has included winning recognition at the 2019 Noelandar’s Trophy, with her tree “The Emperor”.
At her nursery Meleda Bonsai Studios, she showcases her 100+ bonsai private collection, whilst providing a wide range of trees for sale, and is a beautiful back drop to hold classes to share her passion.
Marija combines bonsai technique with an amazing ability to appreciate form, to develop stunning bonsai from collected material. She believes bonsai to be living sculpture, shaped by the artist and inspired by nature, but with the final “image” belonging to the viewer.
