Namiko Reynolds leads this two-hour contemporary ikebana class for adults at every skill level. Loaner tools are available for participants making an arrangement to take home.
All times are local to the venue · America/Denver
The November Invitation to Ikebana centers on composing plants as a way to attend to nature, with hands-on instruction from Namiko Reynolds. The adult class welcomes all skill levels and sends participants home with an arrangement they have made.
The Gardens presents ikebana as a practice of engaging with nature through the arrangement of plants. That framing puts the act of composing at the center of the workshop, alongside its take-home result.
The November offering is identified as contemporary ikebana, but the listing does not describe particular techniques or plant materials. If you need to know what materials are provided, check with the Gardens before the class.
