Ikebana Workshop To Be Held On Island

December 31, 2014

A workshop is being arranged at Masterworks in order to teach people in Bermuda about ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, with 16 spaces available to attend.

The event flyer said, “Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. It is more than simply putting flowers in a container. It is a disciplined art form in which the arrangement is a living thing where nature and humanity are brought together. It is steeped in the philosophy of developing a closeness with nature.

“As is true of all other arts, ikebana is creative expression within certain rules of construction. Its materials are living branches, leaves, grasses, and blossoms.”

“Its heart is the beauty resulting from color combinations, natural shapes, graceful lines, and the meaning latent in the total form of the arrangement. Ikebana is, therefore, much more than mere floral decoration.”

To book a class, call 299-4000.
