In Room(s): Main Shrine Room

"Ikebana" is from the Japanese ikeru ("to place, to arrange, life, birth") and hana ( "flower"). Possible translations include "giving life to flowers" and "arranging flowers".  More than simply putting flowers in a container, ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together.

Each class is two hours in duration, with an allowance of 30 minutes in advance for set-up, and 30 minutes for clean-up at the end of the class. Students are requested to assist with set-up and clean-up.

These classes are "one-time" lessons; a student can attend either class, or both, depending on interest.  All fees include flower materials.  Fees should be paid in advance via online registration as no "on-site" registration will be accepted.  If you are a member of the ASMC your class fee is reduced to $25.  If cancellation is required, refunds will be available only with a 48 hour notice. 

Class size will be limited to 8 students; a waiting list will be created if more students are interested. Personal notice, with more information will be offered to each participant after registration is received.

Please Note: As many of you have already contacted me directly, I have created a list of potential students for each beginner class, and each intermediate and advanced class. Confirmations will be sent after registration is complete. --Iris
