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.
