Sogetsu Ikebana
Sogetsu ikebana considers "space" in the making of arrangements. This refers to within ikebana as well as the physical place in which the arrangement occupies. This workshop focuses on table top arrangements. It’s the time of celebration season so let's add to the celebration with a beautiful floral arrangement.
