Michael Persiano says "Videos and books are wonderful vehicles for study,
but the true learning comes from diving into the art. Be fearless, knowing
that great art is born out of creative explosion. "

Bonsai, to me, is what we do..

difficult aspect of the work is not teaching students how to master the
techniques or the art, but teaching them how to learn.
