Recent reviews of Ikenobo Ikebana Flower Arranging Class
- 5/5 from Kim Flatman, attended Jul 2026: This was such a special way to spend time making stunning flower arrangements made with mindfulness while learning about the layers of meaning in Ikenobo Ikebana, a beautiful and ancient art form from Japan. The teacher made time for everyone and was very encouraging and supportive, while sharing the history and purpose behind this ancient art form.
- 5/5 from Sam Wegner, attended Feb 2026: My Mum and I had a great time learning some introductory prnciples of Ikenobo Ikebana. Aya is a wonderful instructor and relly helped us to create and refine our first attempts at this wonderful artform. I look forward to learning more and practising Ikenobo Ikebana in future!
- 4/5 from Thuy Trinh, attended Apr 2025: Good tutor. I feel like step a bit into Ikebana and Japanese culture. Will join some more class in the future.
- 5/5 from Neeta Patel, attended Apr 2024: Aya and Yuki were fantastic teachers who patiently taught me the basics of ikebana. They also demonstrated how to embrace minimalism in freestyle arrangements. Overall, a great learning experience!
- 5/5 from Yiwei Li, attended Oct 2022: Everyone in the class was friendly and Aya San really pays attention to what your personal preference is in style and colors and gives you advice based on that. Was lovely to bring home the little floral gift bag as well.
Your teacher
I started learning Ikebana when I was ten and studied graphic design after high school. My design background is what makes my approach to Ikebana particularly distinctive. I studied in Kyoto for three years and received a diploma of Ikebana teaching. I've been teaching for decades and I still enjoy it very much.I was born in Fukuoka, and spent the first half of my life in Japan, but came to Australia in the 90s to indulge in Australia's ocean lifestyle. The sea continuously inspires me, and I've developed a passion for surf art. I paint on canvases, as well as seashore gems like sea glass and driftwood. The unique style of my surf art is shaped by my knowledge of Ikebana."Aya and Yuki were fantastic teachers who patiently taught me the basics of ikebana. They also demonstrated how to embrace minimalism in freestyle arrangements. Overall, a great learning experience!" – Neeta Patel, Ikenobo Ikebana Flower Arranging Class
