Why Study Ikebana?
When you practice ikebana, your hands, eyes, and imagination become absorbed in the limitless originality of the natural world. Develop your creative self-expression and explore the beauty of flowers and plants through this dynamic art form.
In depth, ongoing classes are offered year round in the San Francisco Bay Area for dedicated study. Each class includes a demonstration of techniques & design ideas, student practice time, and review with the instructor & class.

What Students Say
Suzanne: This Ikebana class is just MORE than I imagined: More fun, more discipline, more absorbing and much more than floral decoration.
Marion: Ikebana is the best gift I have ever given myself! New friendships, deeper ways of seeing, more gratitude.
June: It's very modern but classical at the same time. The class brings out the best in each of us.
