Japanese Flower Arrangement, Introduction to Ikebana - Japanese Flower Arrangement Session 2
Introduction to Ikebana
Japanese Flower Arrangement(Ages 11 and above)
Ikebana is one of Japan’s traditional cultural arts, in which flowers, grasses, and branches are arranged in a container to express the beauty of the four seasons.

Here is your chance to enjoy the art without traveling to Japan. Mayumi Hall, originally from Japan, is a third term master of Ohara School of Ikebana. Items to bring to the class: Garden sheers/strong scissors, a hand towel/rag and newspapers/small bucket to take flower home.Instructor: Mayumi Hall is originally from Japan. Mayumi is currently the president of Miami Valley Chapter of Ohara School of Ikebana and a member of Ikebana International of Dayton. She travels to Japan at least three times a year to advance her flower mastery by visiting headmaster’s classes.
