Els Schnabel, an ikebana teacher from Germany lead a very interesting and informative workshop showing us a variety of fixing techniques used in the Saga-Goryu School. Els teaches this ikebana school. Bamboo skewers and wooden chopsticks were provided for the fixtures. We met at the Wadestown Presbyterian Church hall where we enjoyed spreading out and learning such a lot of useful thigs from Els. The Christmas afternoon tea was full of variety and delicious goodies. Thanks everyone! This was our last workshop for the year.
