Workshop The beautiful art of flower wrapping.

Conducted by Chih Huang and June Wu

Today, the wrapping serve as a container for flowers, while being a source of beauty in its own right.

The arrangements on the front table were self-made containers

Workshop : Chih and June

As it warms the hearts of both givers and receivers

So many people attended the workshop and here are their creations.

The beauty of Ikebana is not only on the color combinations, but also on other areas of the plant -- its stems and leaves, natural shapes, graceful lines, all these form a meaningful arrangement.

Ikebana, is about harmony with nature and mind, it is also about color, texture, shapes, materials.

Ikebana is about the “moment” of creativity, it is also about the viewer who might share this “moment”.

Ikebana is more than simply putting flowers in a container, it is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together.
