DECEMBER 2022 WORKSHOP

 

Our December workshop was held on Saturday the 17th December at ABK and twelve members were present. Sensei Chitra Thiagarajan gave us a demonstration on variations 6,7,8. Sensei Chitra’s work was recently published In the book “Ikebanists around the world”. We congratulate her for the same.

Sensei Chitra started off with the "combined style” using two ceramic vases.She used anthuriums and garden leaves. A cluster of  unripe bananas added beauty to the arrangement.Thus variation8 was effectively demonstrated by Sensei Chitra.

 
                                        

For demonstrating variation7 Sensei ChitraT had stacked an enamel platter with water on a glass bowl with water. For this floating arrangement Chitra combined a lotus flower and garden leaves and a palm font.

                                                 

For demonstrating variation6 the slanting style Sensei ChitraT had used a wooden moribana.Red anthuriums were used for all the main lines depicting shin,soe and hikae.This beautiful table arrangement can be viewed from all angles.Halyconia leaves and philodendron leaves were used as jushis.

Mrs Luna Bose has taken very good photographs of this workshop and we thank her for the same.  Thus we finished with our practise for our Annual Exhibition.
