Craig Coussins Gallery

Craig Coussins started Bonsai in 1974 and spent the next 20 years studying under the one of the UK's leading Bonsai technicians, Peter Adams, travelling a 1500 Kilometre round trip every month to study with him. Since meeting with John Yoshio Naka in 1984, the world famous Japanese-American Bonsai artist, Craig has been teaching bonsai himself.

He founded the Scottish Bonsai Association and soon after in 1983, he was a founder committee member of the UK Federation of Bonsai Societies, FOBBS. He has been awarded the Patrick Neal Medal for services to Scottish Horticulture for developing Bonsai.

More of Craigs' work can be seen at his website www.Bonsaiinformation.co.uk
