Course Description

Instructor Nutan Ahuja

Before you begin to make your arrangement, let the flowers and the festive mood inspire you. Ikebana, is an ancient Japanese art of flower arranging, guided by the desire to create harmony between flowers and their surroundings.

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.

Students need to bring a tall vase (approx. 8-12 inch tall), Shears and any fresh leaves with 2-3 stems. Flowers will be provided.
