In anticipation of the Sogetsu Japanese Flower Show this weekend, join us for a presentation on Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement.
Practitioners of Sogetsu believe that plants are beautiful as they are, but with people's help they can be arranged in an effective style to be even more appreciated. The Sogetsu School of Ikebana believes that anyone can arrange ikebana anywhere and with almost anything. It should be part of a lifestyle to be appreciated by many people from all over the world rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people. Just as people are different from each other, Sogetsu School encourages ikebana students to be individual and imaginative.
Flower Show viewing at the Library:
Saturday, October 7 from 9:30 am–4:30 pm
Sunday, October 8 from 12:30–4:30 pm
All programs are subject to change based on weather and safety guidelines.
