Ikebana: Flower Arrangement

Sat 23 Feb, 9am-11.30am, 1 morning $70 *
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrange-ment. The style is often minimalist and is not unlike a sculpture. Colour, line, form and func-tion are all considered to guide the construction of the arrangement. Ikebana is an ancient tradition that dates back to the 7th century and is an expression of nature. 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. * (fee is $50 if you have attended a previous class)
