Our June workshop will be held in the Khandallah Town Hall on Sunday 9 June from 2pm - 4pm. Masako will demonstrate how to arrange flowers and branches in a suiban container without kenzan, Book 4, lesson 18 and Book 5, lesson 8.

Masako suggests:
Devise a way to support your flowers and branches without kenzan.  Fixing tools to make the main structure steady can be anything for heavy branches and delicate flowers.  Bending techniques are useful, too.  Without kenzan you can show the beauty of the vase and water feature.
“Explore a new creative style of composition in which the plant materials are rising vigorously from the container.”  

If you have other ways to support materials in a container rather than suiban, you are welcome to show to the group. However, this does not include nageire styles.
