In this workshop, participants will learn crucial aspects of flower arranging and gain a deeper appreciation of the beauty and brevity of Japanese poems.

The art of flower arranging and poetry have long been intertwined. Linking the two disciplines for this hybrid workshop aims to provide complementary activities which explore the human condition and world of nature. Participants will study selected master works and create their own flower and written arrangements.

No experience in either discipline necessary.

Participants are asked to bring:

-1 or 2 small or medium sized vases
-3 to 5 arrangement elements: flowers, twigs, branches, grasses or foliage
-Paper & pen or pencil

1) Flower arrangements and poems created during the workshop
