I prefer workshops that give you guidance more than the teacher working on the tree. That said, when I go to a workshop that is with someone I haven't been to already, I dont really know what to expect, so I could get a tree styled by the artist. I don't learn as much this way, but I appreciate the tree no less. I am less likely to take a future workshop with this artist. On the other hand, I realize that a workshop usually has a very limited scope of time, so if I am lucky, I will get a lot of instruction, a little here is how to get started or do such and such, and then a lot of my own hands on. If I learn just a little something, I will go to future workshops with that artist if I get the chance.
