In this six-week session we will hand-build vases to make floral arrangements in the Japanese Ikebana tradition. For the last class there will be fresh flowers to make an arrangement for you to take home in your new vase. This class offers new vase designs so even if you took the class last year, feel free to join us again
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. It goes far beyond simply putting flowers in a vase. It's a disciplined and meditative art form that emphasizes harmony, balance, and the impermanence of nature.
Optional: Bring sticks or other natural elements to incorporate into the arrangement.
