Sogetsu Ikebana Classes

Disassembling and Re-assembling Materials

Every Ikebana arrangement is made by selecting materials, cutting

them to fit the concept of your design and to harmonize it with your

container. In this lesson we will look at each branch on hand carefully

first to see the structure and elements it has, how the elements can be

made use of to make a composition, and what should be the most

effective element to disassemble the branch. By disassembling the plant

materials you may notice some entirely different and surprising

characteristics of the material, which then enhances your re-assembled

arrangement

Bring: 

Water to drink, a bucket, sturdy garden shears, a cloth for cleaning and a small

bowl for cutting stems. Materials will be provided. Bring your own

container, however some suitable vases will be offered at low cost for

each class.
