Boston Ikebana Open Afternoon Classes in January through April are open to the public and to BSG members. You’ll learn how to create foundational styles of ikebana arrangements.

For more advanced students, dive deeper into foundational and advanced arrangement styles. Forms are from the Ohara School curriculum aligned with the certificate level that you are at. It’s an opportunity to focus on advanced techniques and to advance your training. Instructor Russell Bowers is a 3rd Term Master and Instructor of the Ohara School. Each session is $33, and you can register through Eventbrite HERE. The venue is Hope Central Church, 85 Seaverns Avenue in Jamaica Plain, Boston.
