Ikebana Demo Using Containers made by Brooklyn Potters - Submissions Please!

When: Sunday,  May 4, 3-5 pm  (meeting to follow)

Where: LaGuardia Corner Gardens 511 LaGuardia Pl. bet. Bleecker and Houston

Nearest subways: Bleecker St. (#6), Broadway Lafayette (B,D,F), or West 4th St. (A,B,C,D, E, F)

 Ikebana teacher Elizabeth Berry will demonstrate ikebana techniques using containers made by Brooklyn Potters. She is certified in two Ikebana schools in Japan - Ikenobo and Sogetsu - one style  is more traditional, and the other more free-form. Her work has been exhibited both in this country and abroad. Examples can be seen at: http://eberryikebana.blogspot.com/

Containers should be fairly simple. Assymmetrical containers are especially welcome, but anything can be used. Tall vases should have openings no greater than 5" diameter. Low containers often work well - she will have frogs to anchor materials, or if people have them, they can bring them with the container.

She would like to have have photos of the containers, with dimensions of the container and the opening, about 10 days ahead of time, by April 24. Photos can be emailed to Barbara Cahn (bcahnclay@gmail.com) - I will forward them on to her.

She says she can do 8-10 arrangements in the time we have, if more people than that send photos, we'll have her choose the ones that she feels will work best. They goal is for people to come away with the knowledge to create their own arrangements.

The demo will be open to garden members and other members of the public.

People can stay afterwards for a meeting, unless we decide it would be better to have a meeting at another time. The garden has a small cooler and will provide cups, plates and utensils.

 

People can write Barbara (bcahnclay@gmail.com) with any questions.

Thanks!!!

We haven't talked about a fee for materials, since we're hoping to get most of what is needed from the garden. But if she needs to buy some things, do people think it would be OK to assess a few dollars to people whose containers are used, since they will be able to take the arrangements home with them?

The demo will be open to garden members and other members of the public.

Show at the Met Museum

Metropolitan Museum of Art: ‘Making Pottery Art: The Robert A. Ellison Jr. Collection of French Ceramics (ca. 1880-1910)’  (through Aug. 18) Nearly all the 40 works in this show — from a collection recently donated to the museum — are in a traditional form of vases, bowls and platters. They represent a marvelous variety of styles and influences, including Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, classic Chinese traditions, and European folk art. What they share is a love for processes and materials and a candid way with the human touch. Most intriguing of all is a curiously clunky small vase by Paul Gauguin, who might have been the George Ohr of European ceramics if he’d stuck with it. 212-535-7710, metmuseum.org.
