Try your hand at creating your own unique ikebana work with a professional female flower arranger in your room at the hotel!
In this private experience in your hotel room, first learn about ikebana, a traditional Japanese cultural art, by a female flower arranger from the Misho-Ryu school. Following that, you will have the opportunity to make your own ikebana creation.
All ikebana tools and materials are provided by the instructor. The course not only explains the key points of how to arrange flowers beautifully, but also the history of ikebana, allowing you to enjoy the challenge of creating your own unique and free ikebana work, respecting your own style.
The flower arrangement is placed in a special container with floral foam for you to take home and display in your room for the duration of your stay. In this experience, you will use the tables provided in your hotel room. The table must be at least 60 cm wide and 45 cm deep per person. A coffee table on the sofa or a desk on the wall for writing is also acceptable. If you do not have a table of the appropriate size in your room, please let us know and the instructor will bring a portable table. A maximum of two people can make their creation at the same time on the table the instructor will bring.
