Description
I love Suiseki stones the same way I love creating bonsai. By some way they both bring peace to my soul, since this is also a relaxing hobby.
The difference is that we give shape to bonsai, but stones have been shaped by nature for millions of years here in planet Earth. We just need to learn how to display their beauty.
The hard part is finding that special stone that represents something in nature, in a small scale. But the difficulty of finding that special stone is what makes this art fun.
Just like bonsai, Suiseki stones are a small-scale representation of something big. And that is why they can go together in the same composition.
Suiseki is the Japanese art of stones appreciation.
Suiseki art, just like bonsai, was originated in Japan hundreds of years ago, and has refined with time. But you don't need to go to Japan to find a Suiseki stone. You can find stones very similar to the ones in Japan where you live, and convert them in Suiseki, the same way we do with bonsai.
I have been appreciating and collecting these stones for several years now, and the passion is still growing in me. You may say that I am crazy, but I can sit in a chair for hours just looking at my collection.
We can find them in the form of mountains, human figures, animals, waterfalls, islands, lakes and more. And we find this rocks in beaches, rivers and in rocky terrain. In most cases, we find potential Suiseki stones in places where you can connect with nature, where you can find mental peace, away from the city.
In this course you will learn from start to end, what is the art of Suiseki, how and where to find the correct stones, cleaning them, crafting a custom pedestal, displaying the stone, how to exhibit a Suiseki, how can they go along with bonsai, how to craft a Japanese storage box (kiribako), and much more. And best of all, you will learn all about Suiseki just in one place.
I just hope that you enjoy what you will learn in this course and that it encourages you to start your own Suiseki collection very soon.
I assure you that when you finish this course, you will start looking at stones in a different way.
Who Should Attend!
- This course is aimed to all people who want to learn deeply about the art of suiseki and also for those who want to create their own Suiseki.
