IKEBANA FLORAL DESIGN

PROGRAM: Ikebana Floral Design

​Plant material can be used to create bold, striking designs by thoughtfully manipulating foliage and free space, resulting in strong expressions of color, form, and texture. This artistic approach is influenced by various schools of Ikebana—the Japanese art of flower arranging—and has evolved into modern styles that move beyond tradition, embracing a contemporary aesthetic. Anna O'Kelly, President of the Federated Garden Clubs of Maryland and a student of the Sogetsu School of Ikebana, recently guided members through the fundamental principles of this art form. Following her presentation, members participated in a hands-on workshop, each creating their own sculptural floral design inspired by the elegance and discipline of Ikebana.
