Carolyn Alter, Head Teacher of the Ohara School of Ikebana’s Oregon Chapter, will bring the beauty of kado (the way of flowers) to Portland Japanese Garden by teaching an introductory workshop. Students will receive a creative outlet, a respite from the fast speed of life, as well as the chance to connect with nature, nurture their spirit, and learn about an aspect of Japanese culture. The workshop will include a lecture on the basic principles of ikebana—its history, aesthetics, and mechanics—along with a demonstration by Carolyn and hands-on time for the students to create.
