More information about Stefano Frisoni

He's currently teaching in 5 Italian Clubs, with 10-15 persons classes. He leads a laboratory (bonsaisensei) that besides his own works makes room for collectors and other fans, whom find in it a point of reference in Bonsai modeling and preparation, even for high European level shows. Further he teaches to a “limited” number of persons who want to refine and enhance their skills. These people must have an adequate experience previously gained in clubs or schools, so they can work on their deficiencies and on their own skills, bringing them to the top. Limited number permits an higher quality and attention toward who's going to start a more detailed and personal course. Since 2011 He opened a Streaming Channel http://www.livestream.com/bonsaisensei where you can see and interact in thematic free 'lessons' and follow the styling of a tree.
