Want to learn ikebana?

SPECIAL: Sydney location - themed workshops
Once each month in Sydney, will be a special themed workshop.

In these workshops we reach out to the Sydney based ikebana community with a series of special themed workshops. These are intended for those with at least a few ikebana lessons already under their belt. The workshops will vary in price depending on the required materials that will be provided to the participants.

Some of our topics include:
Mass by volume: Expressing mass in various ways, how to make mass feel light.
Exploring traditional and more contemporary modes of expressing mass in our arrangements.

Advanced Colour: A deep look into colour, building an appreciation and understanding of analogous colour, complimentary colour, colour triads and monochromatic schemes as well as learning about the Japanese approach to colour.

Woven and twined: Make your own small hanging container by weaving and twining materials together to create something that is uniquely your own.

Rhythm and the curving line: Learn to create curving lines that are “at peace” with each other? Covering materials, and design we look at the curving line and how to integrate them harmoniously in arrangements.

Geometry of leaves: More than just jushi! Working with leaves that become the star of your arrangement. We will look at different ways of using and manipulating leaves to achieve different effects.

Em-PHAaa-sis: Finding, focussing and clarifying the hero in your arrangement though a process of editing and adjustment.

Beyond conventionally unconventional: unconventional materials surround us all the time, we will explore a few different ways that unconventional materials can be used, as feature, support or structure.

Pine – A sticky challenge: A beautiful and deeply meaningful, traditional material Pine presents its own challenges This workshop is dedicated to growing your skills working with pine branches.

Painted materials – outrageous colour opportunity or monochromatic masterpieces. By painting dry or unconventional materials we can explore colour in totally new or unexpected and surprising ways. Achieve visual outcomes from the subtle to the striking.

Celebration of difference: taking a different approach to celebration arrangements. Working with mizuhiki and more!..

If any of these topics are of interest to you, get in contact and reserve a spot in our workshops ASAP. With very limited seats available in each workshop these are sure to fill fast.

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.
