Incorporating Flowers in Your Daily Life, a floral design series led by Michelle Samson/@misafloral in partnership with St.Plant/@st.plant and theTwelve/@thetwelvedc

This last class of the series called The Art of Creating Ikebana-Inspired Floral Compositions will be held on Saturday, December 18 from 12 pm to 2 pm in theTwelve's Living Room.

Ikebana-style floral arrangements have been building in popularity over the past few years. Ikebana is the centuries-old Japanese art of arranging flowers. The practice, which roughly translates to "arranging flowers" or “making flowers come alive,” uses carefully selected blossoms, greenery and other flora to convey a specific feeling or emotion to an observer – just as a painting or sculpture might. Acknowledging and appreciating seasonal changes is fundamental to ikebana. Arrangements should be regarded as a reflection of a specific moment in time – a snapshot or portrait paying reverence to the season.

The purpose of this class is to teach students the basic design elements when creating ikebana-inspired floral arrangements. The ticket price includes instruction, flowers, vessel as well as use of tools during the class.

Price is for one class. Limited seats available.
