About this event

ONE COMPLETE FOUR-WEEK COURSE

Learn the essential foundations of ikebana through four practical live online lessons with Julia Rush. The course is sold as one complete programme. Individual classes and drop-in bookings are not available.

WEEK 1 — MORIBANA UPRIGHT
Wednesday 25 November · 11:00 AM–12:00 PM JST

Learn how to prepare materials, use a kenzan, establish the main lines, work with proportions and angles, and create balance through negative space.

WEEK 2 — MORIBANA SLANTING
Wednesday 2 December · 11:00 AM–12:00 PM JST

Explore directional movement, asymmetry, depth and focal point while adapting the Moribana structure into a slanting arrangement.

WEEK 3 — NAGEIRE FOUNDATIONS
Wednesday 9 December · 11:00 AM–12:00 PM JST

Work in a tall vase, learn practical ways to secure stems without a kenzan, and create strong, balanced lines.

WEEK 4 — FREESTYLE FOUNDATIONS
Wednesday 16 December · 11:00 AM–12:00 PM JST

Bring the foundations together using line, colour, mass and space to create an original arrangement with clear intention.
