Ikebana Workshop
Ikebana Workshop
Ikebana for Beginners
In this workshop, as an artist, I will guide you through the creative process of composing a simplistic, harmonious and balanced floral arrangement. Offering a moment of contemplation and relaxation, while learning the fundamental basics of Ikebana.
The workshop will include supplies, demonstrations & basic techniques. Due to the changing nature of plants, each class will be unique, and a new technique will be learned.
Supplies:
Seasonal plants & flowers
Kenzan (flower frog)
Vase
Shears
The simplistic form of Ikebana and the use of seasonal plants allows participants to express their individual appreciation for nature, which can be considered meditative and therapeutic. Ikebana establishes a link between humans and the natural world, reflecting on beauty and gratitude, while exploring the possibilities of sustainable art.
