I've only been to one workshop - run by Walter Pall. Good one to start with, I think. First he critiqued each tree, then demonstrated a couple of styling techniques, then turned us loose while he walked around trying to be helpful. I think the critique and discussion of each person's tree was the most helpful part. No one got their tree "styled by the master", and I think I prefer it that way. I haven't had time to get to other workshops (too much travel), but I just assumed most were run the same way.
