Peter Adams - Sad news
It is with considerable sadness and regret that we learn of the sudden and
unexpected death of one of Britain's greatest bonsai talents, Peter Adams,
who died peacefully on Sunday, 24th November.
As many are aware, Peter had been very poorly and for some weeks in
hospital, but it was only recently that his wife Kate commented that he had
made a good recovery and that they would have been returning home to the
United States on Monday, 2nd December.
For those of us who come into bonsai during the 1970's onwards, Peter was
seen as an exceptional talent, and many have developed their knowledge and
skills in bonsai due very much to his teaching. An author of many books on
the subject, more recently, he had been a regular contributor to 'Bonsai
Focus', where he drew on both his expertise in bonsai and his artistic
talent in analysing raw material and sketching out possible style options.
He was a man with a unique talent and his death will be a sad loss to the
world of bonsai.Our thoughts and sympathies go to his wife Kate and other members of Peter's
family.
