Two-Container 

Freestyle Arrangement

taught by 

Ikenobo Professor Cheryl Linck

For our November Morning program, Sensei Cheryl Linck will demonstrate an Ikenobo autumn-themed freestyle arrangement using two containers.

See photos (some courtesy of Ikebana International Philadelphia Chapter) for ideas of floral material and containers. Bring material for two arrangements keeping in mind that in creating communication and connection between arrangements you’ll want to have some of the same type of material in both.

• Appropriate mechanics (kenzan, Oaisis®, komiwara) to hold material, if needed 

• Hasami (floral shears)

• Watering can

• Flower bucket

• Container to carry home arrangement

• Plastic or newspaper to cover work area

• Cloth for clean-up

Afternoon Workshop 

12:30 p.m.

For our Afternoon Program, Sensei Leslie Rosinski will demonstrate various paper manipulations inspired by Megumi Lorna Inouye, the author of The Soul of Gift Wrapping.

In this lesson we will create various techniques for paper flower making, and other ideas. 

This is a perfect time to learn some new ideas for the upcoming gift giving season. This workshop is inspired by the Japanese art of giving. 

Please bring: scissors for paper cutting and $5 for all supplies
