Masako leads a workshop: Seasonal plant materials for 'Welcome' Ikebana

Our November 12th workshop will be held in the Khandallah Town Hall from 2pm to 4pm. Masako will demonstrate how to arrange seasonal plant materials for ‘Welcome’ ikebana. This work is from Book 5, lesson 1.
Masako has sent the following information for us:

“My presentation is based on the welcome ikebana for the Karori Cemetery Office I have been doing for 5 years. I will show what I do and share what I have learned. I look forward to everyone’s welcome ikebana, big or small.
Ikebana has ‘power and impact..on people’s minds.’ from Book 5- lesson 30.
