Ikebana Seasonal Flowers

Description

Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arranging, and it treats line, space and the seasons as part of the design. The early lessons introduce the practice, the tools and materials, and the basic cutting and trimming techniques.

You learn the three main elements, Shin, Soe and Hikae, and make a first simple arrangement step by step. Four lessons then cover spring, summer, autumn and winter materials, followed by a seasonal flower selection guide. Final lessons address balance, troubleshooting, display and care, and your own style. The PDFs include many tables and exercises.

Who it is for: adults who like flowers and want to learn the basics of ikebana at home.
