Workshop lead by Sogetsu Teachers. Theme: Practicing for a Future Ikebana Exhibition

Our October workshop was held on Sunday 4th October in the Khandallah Presbyterian Church Hall.

It was led by Sogetsu Teachers, Elizabeth, Setsuko and Helen with the theme from Book 5, lesson 25, Practising for a Future Ikebana Exhibition.

Members made an arrangement assuming that they were going to exhibit their work at the upcoming Bonsai Convention. Otherwise, they just considered some other place to display their work.
