This course introduces Japanese flower arranging and gives students experience making arrangements in low containers (moribana) using a pin holder (kenzan). Beginning and continuing students are welcome. Experienced students will work from the textbook with guidance from the teacher. All will study Japanese aesthetics including asymmetry and space.

If you have taken a Sogetsu Ikebana course in the past you may bring your own materials; beginners must register to receive materials for the class.

The instructor will contact all the participants to discuss materials needed for the class including plant material. Please include a phone number when registering for the class.
