Events › Japanese Flower Arranging: An Ikebana Introduction

Experience the rich tradition of Ikebana, a 600-year-old Japanese art form whose name loosely means "making flowers come alive." Dive into the essence of Ikebana, renowned for its minimalist aesthetic and reverence for natural beauty. Learn to craft your own stunning arrangement in our introductory class, led by Russell Bowers, and take home your creation to infuse your living space with the serene elegance of Ikebana.
