  • Wednesday, April 28, 9:30 am – Ichiyo Ikebana Workshop

    Elaine Jo, Executive Master of the Ichiyo School, will give a workshop on Ichiyo Ikebana on Wednesday, April 27, beginning at 9:30 am at University of Massachusetts Waltham Center, 240 Beaver Street in Waltham.  Registration is required, and for information on joining Ikebana International, log on to www.ikebanaboston.org.

    Two important philosophies of the Ichiyo School include the concept that an arrangement must fit the environment in which it is displayed and the individual arranger’s emotions and character are to be expressed in the arrangement.  Thus, it is not just flowers in a vase: it is considered to be an art of human communication.
