Ikebana Workshop with Lynn Bledsoe
Join us for a Saturday afternoon with Lynn Bledsoe to gather in community to learn about ikebana, the Japanese art of floral arrangement, emphasizing harmony, balance, and minimalism while reflecting the essence of nature. It involves a disciplined approach to creating arrangements using specific rules and principles, focusing on line, color, space, and the interplay between natural elements. Unlike Western floral arrangements, Ikebana often highlights asymmetry and negative space, creating a sense of tranquility and connection with nature.
