About this Event
Join us for a fun and immersive Mother's Day Workshop making handbuilt Ikebana-inspired vases!
We will be creating beautiful ceramic vases to hold ikebana-inspired flower arrangements.
Ikebana, also known as kado, or the “way of flowers,” is a traditional Japanese art form that involves the arrangement of flowers and other natural materials in a stylized manner. According to Shozo Sato, artist and author of The Art of Arranging Flowers, its origins can be traced back to the sixth century, when China introduced Buddhism to Japan. Simple flower arrangements (called kuge) were a way of honoring Buddha, and this practice evolved over time into the more formalized art of ikebana.
Find some ikebana inspiration here!
Note: Flowers/flower arranging is not included in this workshop. It is up to you to learn the tradition of Ikebana, and use this vase as a vessel for your beautiful bouquets!
