About the instructor: Young Choe is a renowned kusamono and kokedama artist and practitioner of what she calls “articulture,” a marriage of her artistic vision and love of plants. Young studied art in her native South Korea, but she had always been fascinated by plants. In the US, she began volunteering at the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum, and the little accent plants that often accompany bonsai captivated her. Soon after, she pursued a BS degree in horticulture and studied under master artists in Japan Today, Young  travels the world teaching kusamono, kokedama, and other living arts to budding articulturists.
