A Fun, Relaxing and Enriching Experience
This was a very enriching class. Mishima (I hope I got this right) was a lovely instructor. She brought a beautiful array of flowers with Japanese to English translations. Some were familiar. Others very exotic. All beautiful. She demonstrated an ikebana arrangement then, with her kind and encouraging assistance, we created three more together. I learned so much and it was an experience I will treasure. I highly recommend this experience. I will think of it often as I practice the techniques at home.
