Ikebana Workshop at Eryldene - History Week 2025: Water Stories

Ikebana Workshop at Eryldene

The Ikebana Workshop will be held in the peaceful and beautiful setting of Eryldene on Saturday 13th September between 10am and 1pm. This is a special opportunity for aspiring florists and people interested in Japanese culture.

Learn the history and some of the fundamental techniques of this classical Japanese art form and create your own Ikebana floral arrangement to take home.

Participants will also be treated to a lovely/ home-made morning tea and a tour of the house where Ikebana floral arrangements will be on display. At the end of the class, participants are welcome to stroll through the garden.

We are excited to welcome Jenny Goodwin, a former President of Ikebana International Sydney Chapter to lead the class. Jenny brings more than 50 years' experience teaching and exhibiting Ikebana.

The Workshop is limited to ten people to enable personal attention and feedback. Fresh flowers, foliage, and an Ikebana container will be provided.

You will also have the use of a kenzan for the workshop and they will be available to purchase ($25 each).

Cost: $100
