Previous Events and Workshops
2023, December 2: Workshop: Ikebana at the Table
Led by Elaine Sigler, First Grade Somu, this workshop emphasized Sogetsu’s principles on Rules of Display. Participants put the theory into practice as they created arrangements for holiday gatherings.
2023, October 14-15: Annual Exhibition - Words of Autumn
This theme was inspired by an ikebana arrangement by Kasumi Teshigahara, second headmaster of the Sogetsu School. Autumn is a time of transition: the changing colour of leaves, the exuberance of tall grasses and the development of seed pods from flowers to seed pods.
