In June we welcome Jose Salcedo to lead us through an Ohara Workshop to celebrate his Ohara sensei and Ikebana International member Reiko Kawamura. In the workshop, attendees will create a moribana arrangement using three materials. These arrangements are classified as Color Scheme moribana arrangements, using the Color Method.
Color Scheme moribana arrangements express the beauty of the harmony and contrast of materials. The Color Method aims to express the beauty of color through the color, shape and textures of the selected materials.
Join us after the workshop for a tree dedication memorial ceremony for Kawamura Sensei. Get full details about the event and read about Kawamura Sensei in this heartfelt memorial by Armando Argandona >>
