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.
I teach year round in the San Francisco Bay Area, offering in depth ongoing classes as well as experiential workshops for diverse groups .
Each class includes a demonstration of techniques, designs, practice time, and review with the instructor & class.

STUDENT FEEDBACK
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.
