I encountered Dan Barton in 1991 at the Bonsai World Convention in Birmingham UK and he was the first ‘true’ bonsai artist I studied with.
Over the years I have helped Dan with his computer skills and in return he has helped me with my bonsai. We are close friends and Dan is someone dear to my heart.
In this interview Dan tells us what excites him and how he relates the character of the pot to the character of the tree.
Take a look at Dans pots on his blog here

Ian, the ‘happy’ whistler was Chris thomas… I think it was a Welsh air as I did not recognise the tune 🙂
