Let's welcome spring with a light and airy freestyle arrangement contrasting a light mass with curving lines. Your container should have low sides but can be a medium sized moribana, a narrow container or a curved container. Our guest instructor Terre Voegeli has studied ikebana with Ichiyo school Master Janet Knowlton since 2016. She earned her instructor certificate in February 2021 and was presented it by the Ichiyo school headmaster, Naohiro Kasuya. Terry continues to study with Janet, as well as attending regional retreats, conferences and workshops given by the headmaster. She is on the board of the Ann Arbor ikebana chapter, and presents workshops for both the Ann Arbor and Detroit chapter.

Ikebana IWAYA Fund
The Ikebana Iwaya Fund (IIF) is an IRS 501(c) (3) non-profit organization established in 2006 to promote and support ikebana related activity in North America. It seeks to educate the general public and foster the growth of ikebana through collaboration and financial support of organizations with this shared mandate.
The Iwaya Fund is built with public donations, both general and specific. The Estate of Sumako Iwaya is matching these donations into the Endowment Fund. The dividend income generated by its permanent Endowment Fund is used to disburse as grants to its stakeholders (I.I. chapters, ikebana study groups, schools and teachers).Let me know what day(s) work for you.
