The ‘Joyful Flowers’ Ikebana Show will present exquisite floral arrangements created by teachers from The Ikebana Sangetsu West Coast and Ikebana Lessons Groups.
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arranging, expressed in a special way using balance, harmony and form. Ikebana uses everything that nature offers to make art including branches, leaves and flowers.
The Sangetsu School style aims to bring out the beauty of flowers and branches using their natural colors, lines, and shapes gently placed inside beautiful and unique vases and baskets.
Try it for yourself! Families are invited to make their own mini-ikebana box to take home and the sales area will include kits, books, arrangements and bouquets to purchase.
