Ikebana, or the path of flowers, is both a beautiful art form and a contemplative practice.It teaches us that everyone has the instinct and courage to express themselves artistically.
As with any art, skill in ikebana grows through curiosity, openness, guidance from a trained instructor, and regular practice.
In these workshops, you'll learn some of the history and philosophy behind ikebana. We'll cover the basics—from how to cut a stem to how to thoughtfully arrange plant materials in a container. You'll get hands-on experience creating both traditional and contemporary arrangements in the Sogetsu School style.
