Nero’s Craft & Connection: The Art of Bonsai Wire Trees
Updated: Jan 27
The journey to creating bonsai wire trees started during a paternity leave in 2020, spent at home during the lockdown. With the world slowing down, and a wonderfully well-behaved baby I found myself looking for a way to fill the time, … and I suppose be useful. That’s when I rediscovered bonsai—small, intricate trees that captured the beauty of nature. Using copper and aluminium wire, I started crafting tiny trees, and what began as a way to pass the time soon blossomed into a passion I couldn’t ignore.

But, to be honest, this wasn’t entirely new to me. When I was younger and living in Slovakia, I would play around with creating small wire trees on and off in a very amateur way. Back then, I didn’t take it too seriously, but I enjoyed experimenting with wire and nature whenever I had the time. It’s funny how something so simple, a small, playful hobby, would eventually develop into something much bigger and more meaningful.
Now, I’m excited to share my craft with you, but let’s be real: behind every great man, there’s a great woman! While I focus on the art, my wife is the one who manages everything else -creating this website, handling the sales, and replying to your lovely messages. I’m happy to leave the business side of things to her while I stay focused on what I do best: creating beautiful bonsai trees.

And, just so you know, I’m still working on my English (being from Slovakia and all), so bear with me! But I’m thrilled to share this journey, and I hope you enjoy these little pieces of art as much as I enjoy making them.
