July 2018 Jiyuka Summer Camp Workshop #2

How good is your Japanese?  Do you know the meanings of “tate” OR “naname” OR “yoko”?  Students who attended Ikenobo president Linnéa Storm’s second free style summer camp workshop not only learned these words, they got to practice “vertical,” “slanting” and “horizontal” (see preceding) arrangements focusing on “surface” materials. They chose between single insertion or multiple insertion points and added their own ideas of balance and harmony.  Finished and critiqued creations were beautiful expressions of each arranger’s imagination and each flower’s life.  Ikenobo at its best!
