Sample A: Introductory Ikebana Workshop for Hen's Party
Duration: 90 min.
A recent client hired a function room at a cafe and combined an Ikebana Workshop with Afternoon Tea to celebrate her Hen’s Party. Everybody there thought it was so relaxing and a great idea which they thoroughly enjoyed.
So, if you are looking for something different for a Hen’s Party, contact Shoso Shimbo and he can show you some examples of his work with flowers and how to find relaxation and create a warm and vital atmosphere among the participants which will help lead to a memorable wedding.
This workshop takes participants through the essence of basic Ikebana. You will enjoy the relaxing and contemplative process as you create your own arrangements. You may also find yourself re-energised through the magic of touching beautiful gifts of nature.
Participants arrive with nothing and leave with two delicate floral works of art and the inspiration to make many more.
The session starts with a brief lecture on historical and socio-cultural aspects of Ikebana. Then, participants will make a basic arrangement to learn the traditional design principles, and a free style arrangement to learn how to express themselves through Ikebana. At the end of the session, you will have an opportunity to have an individual consultation with Shoso and share the philosophy behind your unique arrangements with other participants.
Price: $600 (up to 6 guests) / $100 per guest for 6 or more guests.
