Suzanne: This Ikebana class is just MORE than I imagined: More fun, more discipline, more absorbing and much more than floral decoration.

Marion: Ikebana is the best gift I have ever given myself! New friendships, deeper ways of seeing, more gratitude.

June: It's very modern but classical at the same time. The class brings out the best in each of us.
