Some insights given by ADA-SG on selection and placement of woods.
And also the selection of plants and the recommended way for planting.
After the woods, came the stones...
Insights on selection and placement of stones in an Iwagumi scape.
After learning about usage of plants, woods and stones. Slides from last year's winning entries were used to convey the positive and negative aspects of the scapes.

After the break, the workshop continues with hands on demonstration by the people that have been trained by Amano himself...but not before Vincent does his dance stance again... i wonder why he does it every single time!
Here comes the rocks...
And the spider arms of Vincy...
What did your teacher teach you? When you are done with your Iwagumi, put up your hand! Oh, and look at what Vincent is holding! A cute hand puppet which he uses for cleaning the glass.

Everyone's invited to look at the scape up close, feel the rocks, look at scaping materials and accessories before ending this year's AQ's iwagumi workshop.

Many Many thanks for organizing this workshop. Learnt quite a lot of things as a beginner![]()
^^ Yeah, thank you for organising so here are some of the shots I took. Genes is using camera, I am using handphone to take the shots so take it like I am casually taking shot from a different view.
Arrival scene
There were many people in front so I have to reach out to take a shot thus affecting the lightings but it came out a bit surprisingly blue..ha ha.
After some people cleared off, I decided to take another shot.
Those interested in our outing shots can follow this thread:

Testing LEDs and 6500k Lightings...



Ah, Can finally remember what I had wanted to ask!
I was looking at the tiny rock placed at the entrance of the "valley" and wondering if it was a deliberate placement to create "flow" from the Primary to the secondary rock to prevent a "break" in the tank that will create 2 separate scapes.
Appreciate some enlightenment?
Here is my contribution
