“Incorporating Cord in Ikebana Arrangements”

Presented by Patti Quinn Hill, Ichiyo Master

Cord can be a creative and expressive addition to our Ikebana designs, particularly in freestyle arrangements where experimentation is encouraged. Thoughtfully incorporated, cord becomes more than a functional material-it transforms into a visual and structural element
within the composition. Consider wrapping a branch to emphasize line and movement, creating a delicate web of support that both stabilizes and decorates or suspending a focal element to introduce dimension and intrigue. Cord can also be used to bundle materials together in an intentional artistic way, adding texture and rhythm to the arrangement.

Workshop follow for Members only.
