Join Valeria Brinkers, from the Sangetsu School, to learn how to make an arrangement using the beautiful style of the Men-Massu (plane and mass) combination, which enhances the leaves’ surface and shows the beauty of the volume and grouping of flowers.

You will practice observing and learning from nature, in order to be able to create elegant, beautiful, and harmonious ikebana arrangements. 

No prior experience is necessary. You will leave the class with a beautiful arrangement as well as your own ikebana scissors, pin frog and vase to continue your practice.
