        "Unusual Containers"

        Presented by: Patsy Beyer - Sogetsu School

         

        Ikebana does not need dedicated containers. In fact, it often is more interesting to create a container with the design material as in free standing or to create a container with found objects such as hub caps, lighting fixture parts, rock, brick, etc. Fun places to explore for inspiration are the junk yard, thrift stores, hardware stores, and nature for nartural material such as bark or palm fronds in Florida. Containers can be made from fabrics or packing material. Patsy presented a fun and idea filled program that was enjoyed by all. It will be fun to look for containers that we might never have considered for our ikebana.

         

        A workshop was held after the demonstration. Keep scrolling down to see those photos.
