Ikebana, the art of Japanese flower arranging, has been practiced for more than 500 years and was originally a part of Buddhist altar decorations. Today, ikebana maintains its connection to traditional arranging but also engages with flowers using modern styles that enable a wide range of expression by the practitioner. This course, led by multimedia artist Brian Mikesell, will explore several modern styles, with historical information provided to contextualize the modern practice within the tradition in this series on Fridays, April 4 through 25, from 1 to 3 p.m. In addition, we will learn about kado, "the way of flowers," which engages the arranger’s approach, attitudes, and appreciation as part of the practice of ikebana.
The registration fee includes a beginner supply set (kenzan, vase and ikebana scissors), as well as flowers for each class.
