SUMMARY:Introduction to Ikebana - Jan25
DESCRIPTION:What to Expect in the Workshop\nIn this workshop\, instructor Nana Bellerud covers the basic concept\, techniques\, tools and equipment\, and plant care for ikebana. Participants will practice a basic style arrangement within the rules of the Sogetsu School of Ikebana. Beyond simply producing a beautiful work of art with flowers and natural objects\, instructor Nana Bellerud will show you how ikebana explores artistic concepts such as balance\, contrast\, and negative space. \nSupplies and tools are onsite to borrow for the workshop. After you’ve worked on your arrangement\, you are encouraged to take a photo and then you will dismantle your work. The plant material is yours to take. If you wish to take your creation home in one piece\, or are interested in practicing ikebana further\, please consider purchasing a kensan and container at the workshop. \nClass will be held in the Gresham Japanese Garden’s Kyoudou Center\, 219A S. Main Avenue\, Gresham\, OR 97030. The building is located at the south end of Main City Park in Gresham\, OR. It is the last building closest to the Springwater Trail. There is a parking lot adjacent to the building. \n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Kensan + Container – $25\nIn ikebana\, the two accessories used is a kensan\, or some people say pin frog\, and a container. For basic arrangements a shallow container is appropriate. Because ikebana is a practiced art\, owning these accessories is a must to further your practice. \nAlso\, if you’d like to preserve the arrangement you created at the workshop\, these accessories are available for purchase at the workshop. $25 includes both. Only cash or check. NOTE: The cost of the workshop includes the use of the instructor’s kensan and container.
