Ikebana, or Japanese flower arranging, is an art form that highlights the connections between nature, spirit and humanity.  In this class we will explore styles and materials that add extra interest and sophistication to arrangements. Ikebana is considered a practice just like meditation and is one of the three Japanese refinements.  Melinda Thomas studied through the Sogetsu School of Ikebana and is a member of Ikebana International.  Fee includes ceramic bowl, kenzan and pick for students to keep.
