Workshop / Class Health / Wellness

Event in Room: Studio (upstairs)

We will explore playing with flowers, making Japanese-style flower arrangements while learning basic principles of heaven, earth and human. We will use line, space and mass as a way to explore this three dimensional art form that is connected to the natural beauty of our world.

About Odessa Spore:
Odessa is a visual artist and practitioner of Japanese-style flower arrangement and studied for 5 years with Soho Sake, a master teacher in the Segetsu school of ikebana. To learn more about her visual art practice, please see her website at odessaspore.com.

==================
Saturday Workshop:
This workshop is offered by Odessa Spore. Odessa is a student of the Sogetsu school of flower arranging which is not restricted by “fixed styles” and allows us to make our original expression freely. She will give a talk Friday evening and do a demo. On Saturday she will demonstrate arrangements and we will each create our own arrangements under her guidance.
