In this class, we will explore two expressive and creative styles: Hana Mai and Hana Kanade.
Hana Mai, meaning "dancing flowers", is a sculptural form of Ikebana rather than a traditional arrangement. It focuses on creating a sense of movement and rhythm, where the flowers seem to flow and interact with one another.
Hana Kanade is a new arrangement designed by the current headmaster, featuring the technique of crossing lines. This style introduces more complexity, emphasising the interplay of shapes and angles.
Through hands-on practice, you will dive into the intricacies of both arrangements and create your own piece,
All day classes are £50. You will also need to purchase the flowers separately which can cost anything up to £20 extra.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
As the discipline of Ikebana follows a strict curriculum, if you are new to Ikebana, you will start at the beginning of the curriculum for any class you attend. You can find the curriculum here.
