Ikebana changes the way you look at plants

I try to show my heroes in the right light, by looking at them with my eyes and my heart.

The flowers are the heroes

Ikenobō is the oldest school of ikebana. It treats a plant as a counterpart rather than as material. Which way has this branch already grown? Where is this flower looking? You can learn to see it, and it starts sooner than most people expect.

With me

One-to-one tuition in Oberwil, a short tram ride from Basel on line 10. Thursday evenings, Friday mornings and Saturdays. In English, German or French.

If you are coming for the first time, you need no experience and nothing to bring with you. A taster lesson lasts 60 minutes and costs CHF 30.

Works

Twenty-five arrangements from recent years in Rikka, Shōka, Jiyūka and Tatehana. Each one carries its month and year, because the season is part of the work.
