Ikebana Inspired Flower Workshop
Ikebana Inspired Flower Workshop

Explore a slower, more intentional approach to floral design - drawing inspiration from ikebana, the Japanese art of arrangement. In this hands-on workshop, you'll create a sculptural, line-driven composition, guided by principles of balance, form, and negative space.
Choose your approach:
Grounded Form - Shallow Vase With Kenzan
A more minimal, restrained approach - focusing on precise placement, balance, and negative space to create a grounded, sculptural composition.
Free Form - Tall Vase
A more expressive, contemporary approach - exploring height, movement, and natural flow with a wider range of florals for a more layered, dynamic arrangement.
Designed as a moment to slow down and reconnect, this experience is perfect for a solo reset or a calm, creative day with good company.
Location:
15 Zorra St, Toronto M8Z 0C1
(Intersection: The Queensway and Islington Ave, South Etobicoke)
