Lichen-covered branch with camellia flowers and foliage in a tall ceramic vase

Our Ikebana Wellington Workshop will be held on Sunday 13th July in the Hall at Khandallah Presbyterian Church at 2pm - 4pm.

Sandi has provided the following notes and photos.

“Winter is a great time to explore different branch materials when leaves have dropped. By emphasising branch or vine lines the creation of beautiful arrangements are still possible - especially if the branches are lichen covered and unusual green-grey or even orange colours are more prominent. 

I would like you to create an arrangement that contains at least one bare branch or vine. You can still make use of NZ native evergreen plant material or add conifers or flaxes.

Flowers can be kept to a minimum though some of you may be lucky enough to have camellia in your gardens or even berry material.  You may like to bring a second small container to light up a more intimate corner.”
