Ikebana Cultural Program on ZOOM

COVID-19 is continuing to make its mark on the world and challenging us to establish new ways of gathering and sharing our art and interests.

 

Ikebana International of Asheville is continuing its creative program of friendship through flowers. We invite you to join us for a ZOOM presentation of our cultural program on “Using Japanese Things in Western Homes,” presented by Laura Felt and Dede Walton on February 23 at 10:00 a.m. Everyone is invited to attend. If you would like to join us on the ZOOM presentation, please contact Lynn Forbes at the number or email above to obtain the necessary information. 

 

Both Laura Felt and Dede Walton are in the Ikenobo School of Ikebana. Laura lived in Japan in the eighties and has gone back to visit nearly every year since she returned to the US. She has collected many Japanese items, including furniture, textiles, and pottery since leaving Japan and on her numerous return trips. Dede has accompanied Laura on several trips. During these trips Laura and Dede have spent many hours at shrine markets in Kyoto and Tokyo. This program will highlight how they have adapted Japanese items into their homes here in the US.

 

Come join us! This presentation is one that will introduce you to uniquely Japanese articles and how they can be used in a Western home
