Bonsai Workshop at The Greats of Craft - LIC
2025-08-07 19:00 - 21:00 | The Greats of Craft – LIC, 10-15 43rd Ave, Queens, New York, 11101
Beginner workshops are perfect for you to grab your friends, grab a drink and come make tiny trees! We’re bringing the awesome art of bonsai out of the hedged in gardens and into the streets! Or at least into your favorite bars/breweries/pubs. Bonsai Bar is a night of fun you don’t want to miss. Learn the fundamental skills and techniques behind the art of bonsai while enjoying a night out with friends! Our teachers will introduce core concepts and guide your experience as you pot, prune, and design your very own bonsai tree! Our Guarantee: These tiny trees are so hardy we guarantee you can keep yours alive, or we’ll replace it.
This workshop will be hosted at The Greats of Craft – LIC. The table is a magical place. It transcends languages, cultures, and religions. It’s a place to come together, to share, and to enjoy. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to set a table that felt safe, welcoming, and warm.
The world of craft beer can be intimidating for many, myself included. The Greats of Craft (GoC) was borne from a desire to create something centered around exploring new experiences collaboratively. Friends and family came together to help build the literal and figurative foundations of our shop. Still to this day, you’ll likely run into a family member working behind the bar or a close friend starting the day with a cup of coffee or enjoying a drink in the evening.
I’ve always admired artists and creatives who are passionate about their work, and I wanted GoC to also represent artisans and entrepreneurs who have taken the same leap of faith as I did. Regardless if you’re pulling up a chair or ordering online, you can trust we only set our tables with items and goodies of the finest quality. Whether you first stopped at GoC to attend one of our events, pick up a gift, drink your morning cappuccino, or just catch up with friends over drinks, you’ll always have a seat at our table.
Under 21 policy: Please contact The Greats of Craft – LIC for details regarding underage entry
