Ikebana demonstration with Laura Felt

In this workshop, Laura will explain some of the basic Ikebana concepts, demonstrate a few free style arrangements, and then help you as you create your own Ikebana masterpiece!

Combined with the floral design emphasis there will be tea to enjoy as you learn and create. Lynn Weekes Karegeannes, a tea enthusiast and artist, has picked out a variety of teas that will complement the theme of the workshop.
