Ikebana (in Slovenian)

Embark on a wonderful world of ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging that combines aesthetics, harmony, and quiet contemplation of nature. At the workshop, participants will become familiar with the basic characteristics of ikebana, its long history, and the fundamental concepts that shape this special art. They will learn the basic rules, recommendations, purpose, and fundamental techniques with which Japanese masters transform flowers into living artworks.

Participants will also test their newly acquired knowledge in practice, as each of them will create their own flower arrangement under the professional guidance of a mentor.

The workshop is intended for everyone who is fascinated by the ancient Japanese way of arranging flowers and who are encountering ikebana for the first time. A creative, relaxed, and inspiring experience is promised, opening the door to a world of beauty, simplicity, and attention to detail.

Did you know?

In ikebana, each element – a flower, twig, or leaf – carries meaning, and position and balance express harmony between heaven, earth, and the human space. Ikenobō is the oldest school of the Japanese art of flower arranging, which has been preserving and developing this artistic discipline in Japan since the 16th century.

About the mentor

The workshop will be led by Miroslav Gavran, a representative of the Ikenobō school in Slovenia. He began studying ikebana already in 2010. In addition to teaching, he regularly prepares ikebana demonstrations at home and abroad.
