Course Description

Instructor: Nutan Ahuja

Ancient Japanese art of flower arranging. “Ikebana” is made up of two words: the first, “ike,” meaning “alive” or “arrange,” and the second, “bana,” meaning “flower.” More than merely ‘decoration,’ the Ikebana way of flower arranging encourages to fully express by infusing each arrangement with a sense of space, motion, time past and future season, rhythm, and emotion. Ikebana is seen as a spiritual process that helps one develop a closeness with nature and merge the indoors and outdoors. In addition to the incomparable satisfaction of creating beauty in your home, the contemplative art of Ikebana will prove a perfect escape from the everyday stressful life. Student must also bring a vase and shears to class each week to take home your arrangement.
