Fun Ikebana classes in Brisbane
Ikebana for beginners
Ikebana goes back hundreds of years and may have started as early as the 6th century. While we consider it to be a Japanese art form, Ikebana actually originated in China with Zen Buddhist monks who travelled for missionary work to Japan. They introduced the idea of offering these delicate and powerful flower arrangements to Buddha in the temples. Over time, Ikebana was introduced into the homes of wealthy and powerful families in Japan, as well. Throughout the history of this special art form, the metaphor was consistent. Ikebana is a representation of fleeting beauty and the balance of all life on earth. Ikebana artists create unbelievable works of art only for it to wither away within days or weeks. Ikebana is also based in mindfulness, with the artists taking special care to be present in the moment of their Ikebana creation. With such a rich history, you might wonder how you can even start to scratch the surface of Ikebana. That’s why our list of the best Ikebana classes in Brisbane is key to helping you start your journey. You’ll learn from the best Ikebana teachers in Brisbane who have years of experience with this ancient art form. It can take many years to master Ikebana, but with these fun Brisbane workshops, you’ll be well on your way!
