Living Art Traveling Workshop
1062 Pucksinwah Point Drive
West Harrison Indiana 47060

Description:

My name is Anne Sanger, and I’m a retired teacher.

Back in 2018, I fell in love with bonsai, and wanted

to share it with others. I began offering workshops

to teach others bonsai basics as they created their

own boxwood bonsai . I did presentations for

public library branches, retirement communities,

garden clubs, and private parties. Once COVID

hit, there were few bookings.

I recently decided to relaunch my business with a

few changes. In addition to several bonsai

workshop options,  I am now offering introductory

pottery workshops, including bonsai pot creation. 

Workshops can be held in your venue or at

Crossroads Westside Church on Bridgetown Road

They provide a fun, relaxing, and creative activity

to enjoy with friends and family.

I hope you’ll explore what I have to offer!
