Our club will usually set these up as work shops, with a proper demo for the club meeting afterwards. We work on our own, or club trees, for the demo portion we will only do what the tree will stand, and they have typically have been developed for Bonsai. Sometimes it will be multiple tree demos, because you can only do so much depending on season, tree type, etc. so we get an initial (at least) styling, with future styling/care advise , maybe more for our raffle.

But we will often if possible supply materials that lend themselves to the traveling artist/performer. It's the Greater Sprinfield Bonsai Society, we are a small club, but work with a "sister club" in Hartford Ct., helps to bring in many good people and ideas.

That said in the past we did have a bunch of demos that produced "Bonsai" from the demo material, I won one that Bill Valvanis did for us, and it took me over ten years to find a way to kill it. Within reason the whole schmeel can be done in a demo, with proper aftercare, I did say within reason.
