The Ann Arbor Chapter of Ikebana International welcomes members and guests to learn about the art of Japanese flower arranging. A lesson is presented by a certified Ikebana instructor, and participants then create their own arrangement, with support from the instructor, to take home. Floral materials are provided. Participants provide their own containers. Space limited; preregistration required by emailing a2ikebana@gmail.com. $20.00 fee covers flower and instructor costs. For more information visit the Ikebana International website or on Facebook at ikebana international Ann Arbor.
