This master class is a wonderful way of learning not only the technique of Ikebana, but the history and its intriguing origins.. Ikebana is more than just decorative, it is a spiritual process that helps one develop a closeness with nature. The inner tranquility of meditation flows from removing the habitual clutter of the mind, and ikebana becomes a visual metaphor for this refined state of consciousness.
Bowls, flower frogs, pebbles & flower ingredients are included in the cost of the class, and you will be able to take these home to practice.
