SUMMARY:Introduction to Ikebana - September
DESCRIPTION:What to Expect in this Workshop\nInstructor Nana Bellerud will lead September’s ikebana workshop with a focus on the end to summer and beginning of fall with the flower of chrysanthemums\, including its symbolism and seasonal meanings\, while maintaining the core principles of ikebana. \nNana 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.
