Learn the basics of this graceful art form using the Obara style of Ikebana with our tutor Satomi. All flowers and greenery will be provided together with a container/vase and kensan (flower frog) which you get to keep. You will leave the class with your own floral arrangement and the skills to replicate this at home.
