Just thought we could discuss some of the various standards found at Club, Nursery or even Exhibition levels in your area, particularly with the availability or suitability of stock presented to the visiting artist.

Hi Ian,

Good topic. We might want to think about two different questions here.

1) What is appropriate for a club member to bring to a workshop?

2) What is appropriate for a club to present to a visiting artist for the demo?

I've got strong opinions on both topics, but before I launch into those I'll let others comment. I will say this much, though: the material one presents demonstrates respect -- or lack thereof -- for the artists one invites.

Best regards,
Carl
