Ikebana
Currently the group is studying the upright styles of Ikebana under the tutoring of Ray King.
This month’s meeting tackled Nageire Variation 1. We are all finding these styles challenging and yet rewarding. Balancing line colour and space, and being brave enough to trim and snip to achieve distinct lines can be demanding. Several of the group have experience in Ikebana and there is a pleasant atmosphere and lots of encouragement. The results are very encouraging and make much of a few simple components. Our workshop in a sunroom is filled with light, inspiration and mutual enjoyment.
