SUMMARY:Introduction to Ikebana - June
DESCRIPTION:What to Expect in this Workshop\nInstructor Nana Bellerud will lead May’s ikebana workshop with a focus on popular Japanese spring-blooming plants\, including their symbolism and seasonal meanings\, while maintaining the core principles of ikebana. \nBellerud will also cover fundamental Sogetsu School ikebana concepts\, techniques\, tools\, and equipment\, as well as share material selection and design ideas rooted in the Sogetsu approach. \nThe workshop emphasizes more than simply creating a beautiful floral arrangement\, it offers insight into ikebana as an expressive and mindful art form. \nSupplies and tools will be available on-site for use during the workshop. After completing your arrangement\, participants are encouraged to photograph their work before dismantling it. Plant materials may be taken home. If you would like to take your arrangement home intact\, or plan to continue practicing ikebana\, kenzan and containers will be available for purchase at the workshop (see details below). \nThe class will be held at the Gresham Japanese Garden’s Kyoudou Center\, located at 219A S. Main Avenue\, Gresham\, OR 97030. The building is at the south end of Main City Park\, closest to the Springwater Trailhead. A parking lot is located adjacent to the building. \nKenzan + Container – $30\nIn ikebana\, the two accessories used is a kenzan\, 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. $30 includes both. Cash\, Venmo or check will be accepted.\nNOTE: The cost of the workshop includes the use of the instructor’s kensan and container.

SUMMARY:2026 The Art of Bonsai: June-Thurs
DESCRIPTION:Buxus Forest Planting (Yose-ue)\nJoin us in creating a Yose-ue. The tree you will be working with is a Buxus sempervirens for the forest planting (Yose-ue) session. The Buxus sempervirens also known as Common Boxwood evokes the quiet feeling of a natural woodland in miniature. By arranging multiple boxwood trees of different heights\, the composition creates the illusion of a mature grove with a clear sense of depth and perspective. \nBoxwood is well suited to this style thanks to its small leaves\, dense branching\, and strong tolerance for pruning\, allowing the canopy to be refined and maintained at scale over time. Careful placement of the trees—often in odd-numbered groupings with varied spacing—helps create a natural rhythm and visual movement through the forest. \nAs the planting matures\, selective pruning will develop a cohesive canopy while preserving open spaces that suggest light filtering through the woodland. The result is a tranquil landscape that captures the harmony of trees growing together. \nThis workshop it will be held in the Gresham Japanese Garden’s beautiful Kyoudou Center at 219A S Main Avenue\, Gresham\, OR 97030. \nAll tools\, soil\, and materials will be provided. \nNote on Fees: The workshop fee is $40\, plus $15 for tree\, container and additional supplies. \nGift certificates available here.

SUMMARY:2026 The Art of Bonsai: August-Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Formal Upright Design Using a Sitka Spruce\nUsing our native Sitka Spruce species\, participants will learn how to create a classic Formal Upright bonsai design\, known in Japanese as Chokkan.

SUMMARY:Sculptural Bonsai Container Workshop: 2-Part Series
DESCRIPTION:Create a sculptural bonsai container by hand in this two-part ceramic workshop atBentwood Nursery in Laura Dufala’s studio. Using slab-building techniques and rich brown clay\,participants will design and build a shallow\, one-of-a-kind bonsai vessel that balancesfunction with artistic expression. \nInspired by traditional bonsai aesthetics as well as contemporary ceramic form\, this workshopencourages organic shapes\, subtle asymmetry\, texture\, and landscape-inspired surfaces ratherthan rigid symmetry or conventional pottery forms. Participants will be invited to think aboutthe character and feeling of a future bonsai while shaping their container—whether windswept\,quiet and balanced\, rugged\, or terrain-like in form. A selection of authentic bonsai containerbooks and references will be available during the workshop for inspiration and design exploration. \nPart One: Build\nParticipants will design and hand-build a custom bonsai container no larger than 6” x 4” usingslab-building techniques with rich brown clay. \n\nHow to roll and compress slabs evenly\nCutting and assembling walls for clean joints\nCreating drainage holes (essential for bonsai health)\nAdding feet and structural support\nSurface texture or simple decorative elements\n\nSkills level: Beginner–IntermediateDuration: ~2–3 hours \nPart Two: Glaze: After drying\, participants return to glaze and finish container.\n\nChoose glaze\nTechniques: brushing\, dipping\, or layering\nHow glaze affects texture and final color\nFunctional glazing considerations (interior vs exterior)\n\nDuration: ~1.5–2 hours \nMaterials & Tools Included\n\nBrown clay\nRolling slabs/tools (rollers\, ribs\, knives)\nSlip & scoring tools\nGlazes\nBrushes and glazing tools\n\nCost: $150\, includes two sessions\, all materials and firing.Pickup: First week in October at the Gresham Japanese Garden Kyoudou Center.

SUMMARY:2026 The Art of Bonsai: Sept-Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Azaleas\nAzaleas are a unique and rewarding species in the world of bonsai\, with horticultural requirements and design considerations that differ significantly from most trees. In this workshop\, we will explore what makes azaleas their own beast\, from their growth habits and root systems to their watering\, soil\, fertilization\, and pruning needs. Participants will learn how to work with azaleas to promote health\, flowering\, and long-term development. \nWe will also discuss the aesthetic qualities that make azaleas such a prized bonsai subject\, including their fine branching\, seasonal blooms\, and distinctive bark and trunk characteristics. Through demonstrations and hands-on instruction\, students will gain a better understanding of styling techniques\, structural pruning\, and how to balance floral display with strong bonsai design. Whether you are new to azaleas or looking to refine your skills with this exceptional species\, this workshop will provide practical guidance and insight into creating beautiful and healthy azalea bonsai. \n. \nThis workshop it will be held in the Gresham Japanese Garden’s beautiful Kyoudou Center at 219A S Main Avenue\, Gresham\, OR 97030. \nAll tools\, soil\, and materials will be provided.
