• Let’s get ready for the holidays and try a centerpiece Ikenobo style!

Bring a low bowl or suiban type of container. Bring more than one as we will make more than one design. Holiday style greens red and white flower choices will be provided. You are encouraged to bring other line materials and even holiday decorations to augment your design.

Please bring:

• At least two vases that you could use as a centerpiece on a dining table. Your wire and tape are essential.
• Your lunch or a snack.

We arrive at 9:15 AM, set up for class and make any necessary ginza purchases. The lesson begins at 9: 30 AM and you are generally on your way home by about 2PM. Bring a lunch or snack to enjoy.

There will be a definitive break between the 1st and 2nd arrangements at about 1PM to allow everyone the opportunity to watch the critiques of all the arrangements and everyone the chance to have a snack break.

Please do not take your arrangement apart until all arrangements have been critiqued. If you need to leave before all arrangements have been critiqued, you will not get credit for the lesson. Plan your time accordingly.
