Program Description
The Holiday Season is here!
The art of ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) always embraces the season.
Whether in the act of creating, giving an arrangement as gift, or simply contemplating your display on your table or windowsill, ikebana can lift the spirits and touch the heart.
This special holiday ikebana workshop includes three parts. First, Ping Wei sensei will discuss the principles of ikebana while demonstrating examples of flower setting. Second, participants will make their own creations based on the principles. Then Ping Wei sensei will conduct an evaluation of each participants arrangements to help everyone further understand Ikebana aesthetics.
December Class: Moribana (a suiban container and a kenzan are needed), basic slanting.
January Class: Nageire (a tall cylinder vase is needed), New Year’s arrangement/free style.
