Our March workshop will be held in the Khandallah Town Hall at 2pm till 4pm. Helen Wareham will demonstrated how to create an arrangement using a variety of materials.

Book 4, lesson 5 - A Variety of Materials. Prepare an ikebana arrangement using at least 5 materials. The textbook suggests mainly flowers but Helen suggests using grasses, maybe from the roadside, to celebrate the end of summer.

When I first studied this arrangement it was called  ‘Maze-zashi’, the Seven Grasses of Autumn’.  A basket or a rustic container would be suitable.
