This is what Craig Coussins one of the masters of bonsai has to say about Rob...
Rob is a young man with outstanding technique.
His speciality is refinement of raw material and he works on medium to large size Bonsai
Rob is featured in Craig Coussins latest Book, Bonsai Workshop-October 2006
Rob has an amazing eye that can capture the essence of the tree in the wood. His work with raw material that has been grown for Bonsai is outstanding.
His background has been one of learning from some of the top masters in Europe and although he is now an international teacher,
he still goes to workshops and classes with these masters in order to improve his own mastery of Bonsai Art.
A true teacher is always learning and does not shy away from constantly finding out more techniques to improve his or hers students and in that aspect.
Rob Atkinson is, in my opinion and indeed many others, one of the best young masters to come out of the UK.
I have featured Rob in my two latest books and would not have done so if I was not committed to his ability as a teacher and as a superb Bonsai Artist.
