Ikebana, the traditional Japanese floral art that is also known as Kadō, respects the natural characteristics of plants, intending to create serene forms with profound connotations. Though Ikebana is a traditional Japanese art form, the philosophy at the core of ikebana is still quite relevant to the times we live in: an art that can expand our appreciation of beauty.
In this workshop, Florist Ye Zi will teach you the fundamental theories of Ikebana and how to use kenzan (flower frog) in this 2-hour workshop. She will also guide you to reinterpret this art form under a modern context based on the practice’s core principles, and what it has to say about nature.

Flower Artist | Ye Zi
- Ye Zi has been studying Ikebana, the traditional Japanese flower arrangement, since 2017. She is a student of Paula Tam, the former president of Ikebana International New York Chapter (2013-2015). Her works have been exhibited at Fou Gallery and the 2019 Blue Cloud Gala at China Institute. At the end of 2019, Ye held her first solo Ikebana exhibition Forma Calli- at The Blanc Gallery. Fascinated by the emphasis on shape, line, and form of the plants in Ikebana, Ye zi aims to embrace those principles of Ikebana and input her own aesthetic conception into the arrangements she creates.
