There were demonstrations each day by Spanish Bonsai experts including Jaume Canals the chair of the Spanish Bonsai association working on a Itoigawa Juniper and Juan Gomez Hernandez who worked on a magnificent Quercus fragina there was also on the Friday a Raku pot making demo by a member of the group and local potter Jose Antonio Guerao Navarro.
