About this Event
Ikebana is the ancient Japanese art form of flower arranging. The Sogetsu School of Ikebana reflects modern lifestyles and focuses on encounters between two ever-changing entities: humans and nature.
Prerequisites: Sogetsu Ikebana has no prerequisites.
Many of our courses have a part one and a part two which teaches more advanced work. If you have already taken Ikebana and wish to extend your knowledge, you may sign up for this course again and an advanced program will be taught within it. You will get a separate credit for Ikebana 2.
Course fees do not include flowers or supplies. A materials list will be emailed prior to the start of each class.
