Ikebana Workshop with Kurashige-sensei

26-28 Oct 2018

Hagio-sensei invited Kurashige back for another advanced lesson on sunamono rikka.  The chapter then asked her to stay for two additional days of classes.  Saturday we did Rikka Shofutai, focusing on the use of oha, specifically using Okinawan-shaga or walking iris leaves.  On Sunday she covered Shoka using one, two, and three materials.
