13-17 Oct 2024

Barbara attended Ikebana International's North and Central America Regional Conference in Philadelphia. We arrived just in time for Barb to participate in a round of "Iron Ikebana", inspired by Iron Chef, in which participants are given materials and 10 minutes to arrange them. In this case, members from 4 different ikebana schools participated hoping to show how each might handle the materials differently. In addition to the opening and closing banquets there were 4 demonstrations by 4 different schools of ikebana, a business meeting, workshops, a forum on Anime and ikebana and more.
