A Workshop Using Dried Materials - Faded Beauty

At one time using dried materials from the field and garden was a necessary in ikebana. So in this mid winter, the I.I.(Ikebana International) Philadelphia Chapter provided a workshop for members to learn and practice. We had two Senseis from two schools, Sogetsu and Ohara to do the demonstration for us.(1/22/2015)
