Holiday Ikebana Class

Through this class, participants will experience and focus on creating a holiday inspired ikebana arrangement.  Participants will create a freestyle arrangement with their own creative expression.  Seasonal plant materials with traditional holiday colors such as red, green, and white will be selected.   Décor items can be inserted into the arrangement to give it that extra holiday spirit specifically, Mizuhiki.  Mizuhiki is the traditional Japanese art of knot-typing that uses decorative cords or paper strings for a variety of purposes such as but not limited to embellishing gifts, envelopes, souvenirs, and can express emotions.  For ikebana, Mizuhiki are used for special occasions and/or holidays; use them to show extra feeling/emotion within your arrangement.  If décor items other than Mizuhiki are used, then make sure these items go either in the back or in the middle of the arrangement to add fullness and as not to distract from the beauty of the ikebana creation. Enjoy arranging with your own holiday spirit, creativity, and self expression.
