Young Choe Kusamono Workshop

Young Choe is a kusamono artist who studied traditional art in her native Korea before moving to the United States and earning her BS in horticulture from the University of Maryland. While volunteering at the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum, she brought her artistic talent together with her knowledge of horticulture to create kusamono. As her interest developed, Young traveled to Japan to study the unique art form with the master kusamono artist, Keiko Yamane, a former student of Saburo Kato. She worked for many years with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) including the U.S. National Arboretum. Young is considered a leader in the field and enjoys conducting workshops and lectures nationally as well as internationally.

This workshop is perfect timing before our annual show if you need to put together a last-minute accent, and also a great opportunity to learn more about accents and kusamono in general.

Tickets are available now! Plan to bring a few small plants, a pot, and a sack lunch.
