August meeting – Demonstration and workshop

 August 13th 2022

Our August meeting at ABK had 14 members participating. Senior sensei Meenakshi Sarin

demonstrated on “Structures” and Mrs. Bhuvana Shivasankaran demonstrated in glass

containers.

For her first arrangement Sensei Meenakshi Sarin started by arranging beautiful pieces of drift wood and used ceramic container behind them to arrange Indian almond tree leaves and  colorful
Lagastromia flowers, Halyconia and gypsophila. It was a beautiful creation.

For her second arrangement Sensei Meenakshi used a combination of black and white fibre glass containers and a structure made with straws with  black and white pattern commemorating the chess tournament which was recently held in the city. The neat straw structure was made by 
Mrs. Shylaja and Mrs Bhuvana.

Indian almond tree branches were used beautifully in both the arrangements made by Sensei Meenakshi.

For her first arrangement Mrs. Bhuvana used a beautifully woven palm leaf inserted in a glass container with water and the anthuriums were inserted in the weave to complete the arrangement.

For her second arrangement Mrs. Bhuvana used a beautiful jasmine vine in water in a glass container and a single gerbera and gypsophiia to enhance the beauty of the vine.

Our Director Riji Mrs.Malathi Pandurang gave her comments on the arrangements and members proceeded to do their arrangements.

It was a wonderful demonstration by Sensei Meenakshi and Mrs. Bhuvana Shivasankaran
