We will explore playing with flowers, making Japanese-style flower arrangements while learning basic principles of heaven, earth and human. We will use line, space and mass as a way to explore this three dimensional art form that is connected to the natural beauty of our world.

==================
Friday Night Talk:
The suggested fee to attend Friday night only is $10, or what you can afford. There will be a collection basket at the talk. Prior registration is not required, unless you're coming to the Saturday workshop as well.
Saturday Workshop:
This workshop is offered by Odessa Spore. Odessa is a student of the Sogetsu school of flower arranging which is not restricted by “fixed styles” and allows us to make our original expression freely. She will give a talk Friday evening and do a demo. On Saturday she will demonstrate arrangements and we will each create our own arrangements under her guidance.
