A Workshop lead by Els Schnabel demonstrating the use of various Fixtures in Ikebana Arrangements

On Sunday March 9, we met in the Khandallah Presbyterian Church, 33 Ganges Road for a workshop lead by Els Schnabel. She demonstrated various methods of fixing material in a tall glass container. A handout sheet with instructions, diagrams and photographs allowed members to follow Els demonstration. A tall glass vase was used to show the fixings and an arrangement in a tall ceramic vase to show the result of fixings.
