APRIL 13: “Arrangements made with All Flowers”

In the process of creating Ikebana using plant materials, the elements of “line, Color and Mass” are the primary focus. Creating a composition using only flowers offers an opportunity to discover the infinite variety of color, texture and shape of floral offerings. Try to utilize contrast to create interest. Size and texture are also elements that can expand your design. Do you want all one color? Or contrasting colors? Pay attention to how the container you choose fits into the overall design of your arrangement. Bring a container of your choice. Flowers and flowering branches will be provided.
