“Sanshuike” and “Tips & Tricks on Making an Arrangement for Exhibition”
Sanshuike
Teacher - Diane Suda
Sanshuike highlights the harmonious fusion of three distinct floral elements. Although it is rooted in the Ikenobo shoka tradition, this style offers arrangers increased flexibility in both material selection and overall design. With greater creative freedom and fewer formal constraints, you may wonder what guidelines can help you craft a Sanshuike arrangement. This workshop will share suggestions to help you fully explore and unlock the expressive potential of your Sanshuike arrangement.
Diane led the class into doing a double-take on a variety of pairs of sanshuike arrangements, discussing the beauty and faults of each , then revealing which was the corrected version.
Each student was then given 4 materials to make a sanshuike. After correction, this was followed by a second sanshuike changing how the those materials were used
Tips & Tricks on making an Arrangement for Exhibition
Teacher - Teresa Silverman
This workshop is about handling the request to make an exhibition arrangement, deciding on what type of arrangement to do and displaying your arrangement for the group. I won’t lie - the first one, and even the second and third request - can be nerve wracking. But we will unpack all that fear and self-loathing and learn to enjoy sharing your work with the world.
Teresa randomly assigned Ikenobo styles to pairs of students, who worked together for a single finished arrangement as in an exhibition
