This workshop focuses on "Going Back to Basic." Basic styles are very important to create amazing freestyle arrangements. Also, they are tied to the history of Ikebana. During this workshop, participants will learn more about the history, meaning behind the basic style, and the purpose of the basic styles. This workshop hopes to deepen the understanding of Sogetsu ikebana while inspiring participants with interesting perspectives of basic style.
This workshop contains more talking by the instructor than usual.
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.
Notes: Materials and colors may vary depending on availability.
