July 2012 - we meet again after the summer break
Three members of the Sogetsu Study Group Chennai visited Japan in connection with the Ikebana International convention and the post convention Sogetsu seminar, in April-May!
As the group re-convened after the summer other members were eager to hear their experiences, and the first meeting of the year was a recap of their wonderful trip.
A photo essay of the trip.
Next month, we meet for a freestyle workshop!
