Bonsai Classes at Fort Point Beer Co.

I would not recommend this class to anyone. It was 4 minutes of instruction stretched out to fill two long, terribly boring hours. You just repot a small jade plant. The worst part was, the assistant came around and grabbed mine and repositioned it, ruining the only remotely creative element of the class. It looked really bad after he did it, he ripped a large root and made it less stable, and he just said "if it helps, I think it looks good like that". No it does not help, young man. This was a waste of time and money.

The website was advertise as beer included with purchase. This was not the case and we ended up buying our own beer and experiencing quite a bit of confusion. The gentleman working the event initially said a beer was not included but did make the effort to check the website and he found that it was in fact advertised incorrectly. He offered to buy our next round, but we were full from the first. Thank you for trying to make it right.
The event itself was a bit slow paced considering the tasks were not overly complicated. TBH the event could have been held in 1 hour or less.
For the awkward experience and (what seemed to be) an less organized group, the experience was not worth $100. Especially if a beer is not included. IF INCLUDED, ok i can start to justify the $100 i guess..
Nice folks and good crowd.
Advice for the team: engage the crowd a bit more to see who you have in your audience. From what i can tell a few people had experience potting plants and wanted to move quicker. I think if you ask your audience at the beginning who has experience, you can get a sense of where to focus more attention (those who might need more guidance).
Overall, not bad. But not great.
