There are a few different ways to go about learning Ikebana but a great place to start if you have never done ikebana before is in our fun Ikebana Sampler Course.
If you already have some experience with ikebana or have done the sampler course and want to continue learning in a more formal way you can sign up for the Regular Ikebana Classes where you’ll work through the official Sogetsu Ikebana textbook (these will be coming soon).
If you like a more personalised experience there are one to one Personalised Classes which are by appointment at a time that suits you.
Of course we can also help you out with one off workshops, demonstrations or events tailored to your specific needs. For these you’ll need to get in touch so we can understand the specifics of your event.

The Ikebana Sampler Course runs one night per week over three weeks. This is a great introduction to the world of ikebana where you’ll get to have fun and learn some core principles and skills in a relaxed and fun setting.
Each week you’ll learn how to make a different kind of arrangement and get to keep and take home your flower, branch and foliage materials as well as the containers you use! This means you walk away with all the things you will need to recreate your beautiful masterpieces at home!
These classes run In Goulburn on a Wednesday evening from 6:30pm to 8:30pm with a maximum of only six students to ensure you get lots of personal attention to aid in your learning. Contact us to express your interest or enroll!

If you’ve done the sampler course and want to grow your skills, the regular ikebana classes are the way to go.
Learning ikebana in depth is a journey of more than a few lessons. Once you’ve tried the sampler and decided ikebana is something you really want to explore in an ongoing way then the Regular Ikebana Classes are for you.
In the regular ikebana classes we cover the official Sogetsu ikebana curiculum designated by Sogetsu Headquarters in Tokyo. This leads students through and teaches many arrangement styles, concepts and technical skills and follows the formal textbooks which have been developed and refined by masters over more than 90 years.
