Chabana Workshop

Flower Club International Sydney Summit 2026

Saturday, 4 July 2026

10:00am–11:30am

The Provider Store, Darlinghurst, Sydney

Bring Flowers Into Your Everyday Life

Chabana is the traditional Japanese practice of arranging seasonal flowers for the tea room.

Simple, natural and deeply connected to the seasons, Chabana teaches us to appreciate flowers as part of everyday life rather than as something reserved for special occasions.

In this workshop, you'll create your own arrangement using seasonal flowers while learning fundamental ikebana principles that can be incorporated into your home and daily routines.

Whether you're completely new to flower arranging or already have experience with ikebana, Chabana offers a beautiful introduction to a more thoughtful and creative way of living with flowers.

What You'll Learn

• The history and philosophy of Chabana
• How Chabana differs from traditional floral design
• Fundamental ikebana principles
• Working with seasonal flowers
