In this beginner's class, you will learn the Japanese art of Ikebana.
Bring nature into your living space and add beauty to your home with the art of contemporary Ikebana. Ikebana helps you meditate while working with flowers, branches and greenery. Discover the beauty of nature through exploring the qualities of plant materials.
You will learn to create a freestyle contemporary Ikebana arrangement based on the design principles of the traditional Ikebana. Guided by an experienced Ikebana teacher, the workshop begins with the introduction of Ikebana history and its zen philosophy, a floral demonstration using the tools and techniques.
Come with an open mind and creative interest, return with your artistic creation and the inspiration to create many more arrangements.
Ikebana is an art form that can be shared with and enjoyed by the whole family bringing beauty to the living space.
The classes are held in a specially built art and Ikebana studio set in the tranquil garden of the artist residence
