>>Hi Mary;
>>I finally got to the program chairman to find out more about the Sunday
>>program on Suiseki.
>>The program includes talks, slides and showings of Suiseki. It features
>> Norry Kirsten, considered the top Suiseki individual in Europe, who
>>will show slides and give a talk.
>> Mary Bloomer, slides and a talk showing her collection (or part of
>>it). She
>>is a past president of Bonsai Clubs Internation (BCI), and is said to have
>>an outstanding collection.
>> Sean Smith is very active and knowledgeable on the subject. He will
>>speak
>>about DAI (pronounced dye), which are the stands for suiseki, and the
>>importance of the correct dai. (I just learned what 'dai' are myself.)
>>
>>Incidently, there will be several 'dai' makers at the Marketplace. One will
>>be Bob Sigourney, who is local and whose work is said to be tremendous.
>>
>> Yes, the Sunday day registration is $95. It includes the show, a free
>>admission to the exhibit and lunch, which includes a raffle. The show does
>>appear to be an outstanding experience with Suiseki, with great speakers.
>>
>> Another consideration is that if you register, either for one day or
>>as a
>>full registrant, you are entitled to purchase tickets to the critiques,
>>banquet, dinner-cruise, tours, everything but the workshops. (You must be
>>registered for the day of the workshop to attend one of those). I.C. Su is
>>giving a critique on Suiseki on Sat. A.M., and he is not on the Sunday
>>program, so it would not be repititious.
>>
>>I hope I have given you enough information so that you will feel
>>knowledgeable about making your decision.
>>
>>Let me know if you have further questions.
>>
>>Sybil Nelson
