Beyond simply producing a beautiful work of art with flowers and natural objects. \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.

Some Gyozan pots are Yuuji\, all of his are handmade. Gyozan pots that are made today are made with a mold. They are still made by Nakano\, just done so with a uniform shape. \nHandmade pots typically have a signature in addition to the chop\, but since all of Yuuji’s are handmade\, none have an additional signature. There are also seven or more different Gyozan chops\, but only one Yuuji.\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 Purchase with Venmo \n\n\nPlease use the QR Code supplied here\, or if you’d like to pay by credit card add the # of tickets in the field below.
