Our Sogetsu Wellington AGM and Workshop was held on Sunday 14th April 2-4pm at Khandallah Town Hall.
After two years in the role Kate stepped down as Chairperson and Setsuko as Deputy Chairperson. They both enjoyed their time over this period and were thanked for their hard work for the continuation of our Sogetsu group.
New committee members elected as follows:
Chairperson: Helen Wareham
Deputy: Masako Crawford
Secretary: Sandi Hurnard
All other committee members retained their position.
After the AGM there was limited time to create an arrangement.
Book 2 Lesson 16, states a Morimono is a ‘composition made by combining some of the plants, vegetables, fruits, leaves, roots and so on’, to be displayed on ‘a tray, base plate, a cloth or even a large leaf’. On the other hand, Book 4 Lesson 10, is an arrangement with ‘fruits and vegetables’, with no stipulation as to the container. Most participants did a true Morimono, whilst a couple of participants did the Book 4 arrangement and a couple did free style autumn arrangements without fruit or vegetables.
