Ikebana

  • $145 Members

BOOK ONLINE

In this 4-week course, participants will learn several basic arrangement styles and fixing techniques in the Sogetsu-style of Japanese Ikebana floral arranging. In Ikebana, a minimalist approach focuses on line, shape, leaf and branch, and the space between the elements, as much as on the floral blooms themselves. A kind of meditation, it is both a personal expression and an exploration of the relationship to nature and the seasonal cycles of life. Participants will learn to create a ‘moribana’ arrangement in a shallow vase using a ‘kenzan’ pin holder, and ‘nageire’ arrangement using a more freestyle expression in a tall upright vase. In the final lesson, participants will choose their own vase to create their own unique arrangement incorporating techniques acquired in the previous lessons. All flowers and plant materials will be provided each week. Course costs also include a Kenzan flower holder for each participant to keep. Limited to 8 participants.
