Not a lot of explanation about the traditional flower arrangement. Just do your thing st a flower shop. You have to pay more if you want to take it home.
My teacher was excellent. Very encouraging and kind. By the end of class , I had two arrangements to give to hosts in Japan.
Had an amazing time. Got to do the class solo so I did 2 ikebanas. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for joining the ikebana class! It was a pleasure to teach you, and I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it.
This was a lovely class! It was super interesting to learn about the ikebana principles and apply them to flower arranging.
Thank you for joining the ikebana class ☺️ It was lovely to have you, and I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed learning about ikebana!
We had a lovely experience doing Ikebana flower arranging for the first time! The host was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions and supported the types of flowers that we wanted to use. They had a great variety of beautiful flowers and greenery for us to use to prepare two vases each. It was fun wearing the provided smocks and working within a real flower shop. It is a bit chilly in the flower shop, so wear a warm shirt!
Thank you for your lovely review 😄 It was a pleasure having you at the workshop, and I hope you continue to enjoy the art of ikebana!
We had a fantastic time, she was very knowledgeable and the environment of the flower shop was lovely!
Thank you so much! It was lovely to have you at the workshop, and I'm glad you enjoyed ☺️
My husband and I enjoyed this experience very much. Aki, our instructor, shared the origin and history of ikebana. She guided us in our first attempts to make our floral arrangements. We had a lot of fun!
Thank you so much for joining the workshop together! I’m very happy to hear you both enjoyed the experience. It was a pleasure sharing the history of Ikebana and guiding you through your first arrangements :)
I absolutely didn’t expect this experience to be so deep and enriching. I thought I would discover a simple floral art… but I was truly surprised by the complexity, the meaning, and the philosophy behind each gesture, each space, each choice of flower. The instructor who guided me was wonderful: very patient, attentive, and full of thoughtful advice. Thanks to her, I was able to understand the spirit of Ikebana, take a step back, and find a moment of calm and reflection. It was almost meditative. The experience is poetic, soothing, and offers a genuine opportunity to look inward and explore one’s own sensibility. I learned so much, and I think this discovery might even awaken new passions! I highly recommend this activity to anyone wishing to discover Japanese art in a more intimate, authentic, and contemplative way. A true breath of serenity in the middle of the journey.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! I’m glad to hear that Ikebana gave you a moment of calm and inspiration. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I’m glad the philosophy behind each gesture spoke to you. I hope you continue to make lovely arrangements in the future :)!
Nice Ikebana workshop! Aki was so kind and helpful, and she explains the principals of Ikebana and how to arrange and choosing the flowers for the arrangement.
