Welcome to All in One Bonsa

Bitten by the Bug


Welcome to All in One Bonsai...a blog that aims to remind me of what I have forgotten. Over the years I have been finding out as much as I can about the art of bonsai. I hope the information in this blog will shed some light to the beginning bonsai enthusiast out there.


I saw some bonsai trees at a corner market one night in Taipei and asked the guy if he was willing to teach me how to create these miniature trees. He directed me to a night school where all the instruction was in Chinese. My Chinese ability is very ordinary at the least so although I was learning bits and pieces, I really wasn't getting all I wanted from the course. The best parts were when the teacher would start pruning a beautiful tree or when he showed us how to repot a bonsai. The mystery was still out there but my interest wasn't waning, if anything it fueled my motivation to find out more. And so I did.


Let the adventure begin...


Recently I have discovered the joy of pottery. Bonsai and pottery are close friends so it was only a matter of time before I was introduced to her. Welcome to All in One Bonsai...and pottery.


Feel free to visit my site where you can purchase some of my handmade pottery. Quite a few pieces have been wood fired as it is the prefered method here in Taiwan:

House or Home

Or Farm Yard Barn...

I have recently bought some land in Australia and plan to build something on it in the future.  After living in Taiwan for the past 13 years in an apartment, I really miss the house lifestyle. 

Whenever I see models of houses I always stop and have a closer look.  Because I can't afford to make a real one at this stage I decided the next best thing would be to make one out of clay.  

I wanted to build a wonky one.

I wanted it to look old.

Height - 23 cm.  Width - 9 cm.  Weight - 993 grams.

Set the mood.
