The Moynihan Institute’s East Asia Program presents a workshop by Jia Man of Le Moyne College.
Ikebana is the centuries-old Japanese art of arranging flowers. This workshop will give you a taste of Ikebana. Jia Man will introduce the basic principles, history and philosophy of Ikebana in an easy-to-understand way and explore different Ikebana styles. In addition to learning techniques of Ikebana, the workshop will focus on mindfulness and relaxation. Students will create their own Ikebana arrangements and be encouraged to approach their arrangement with a sense of calm and peace.
