Every year for my birthday I try something new. This year, I attended and Introductory course for Ikebna with Mayumi. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I love arranging flowers in general, but am entranced by ikebana arrangements. There is plenty of parking outside and the class was intimate, like 5 people, so Sensei Mayumi could help everyone. She gave great background into the history of Ikebana, cultural importance, and the introductory arrangement style I practiced. The other women were more advanced and made really cool arrangements. Materials are provided and you're able to take the flowers + natural materials home to recreate your arrangement. If you love making bouquets and/or want to learn Ikebana, please come visit Mayumi at Ikebana Studio M read more
