Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this ikebana class:

Life is stressful and at times chaotic. Practicing Ikebana involves calming and focusing one’s mind. It is learning and developing a new approach to the beauty found in nature all around us. 

Students gain two sets of benefits:

  1. The skill/process of arranging flowers that is relaxing
  2. Students will bring home a fresh flower arrangement after every class.

Course Objective: This course introduces students to the art form and discipline of Japanese Ikebana (flower arrangements.) The simplicity of lines, appreciation of nature, and the rich history of this tradition will be covered.

Students will exit this course, a series of six classes, with an understanding of the essential skill to begin this journey of harmony, balance, and appreciation of nature in Ikebana.

  1. Know the history of Japanese Ikebana
  2. Demonstrate the basic skill of the introductory forms

    I felt the whole booking experience left us grossly unprepared for the entire class. Confirmation emails didn’t reiterate that course materials were required nor best instructions on how to get to the class, so we arrived 30 minutes late because Google maps put us across campus and we had to ask multiple people how to get to the building. I understand we were significantly late but when we arrived, the instructor did very minimal teaching. Told us to read a piece of paper, which was very confusing without any instruction, and just left us alone so we got started trying to follow the instructions. The instructor then tended to us after about 10-15 minutes and essentially told us we were doing everything incorrectly and why. We then tried our best until we thought we were done. Then the instructor came back and pretty much took our pieces apart and redid it how they would have done it themselves. Overall we left the instructor was a little condescending, we spent an unexpected $55 a person, and learned extremely little. Lastly, the course was booked from 9-11 am but everyone left at 10:00. Really reiterating the fact the course was far from worth it.
