Extended Description:

• Day 1: Introduction to ikebana with a lecture and simultaneous demonstrations with explanations by the four teachers. Each teacher will create a basic arrangement in her school, followed by an intermediate arrangement, and ending with a free style arrangement. We will end with a discussion about which of the basic or intermediate arrangements the students would like to try in the subsequent workshop days. The workshop instructions will be sent to students in an attachment. In the workshops, the teacher will demonstrate and explain the arrangement, then the students will create their own version of the arrangement, and finally the teacher will gently critique the student arrangements.
