Hello all,
First of all, a quick announcement - Our Sogetsu group will have our annual exhibition -
Dates: Saturday, 30th September and Sunday, 1st October.
Hours: 10.00 am to 4.00 pm Saturday and Sunday
Venue: Linen Room, Abbotsford Convent
1 St Heliers St., Abbotsford
The previous weekend our Ikebana International group held its annual exhibition with the theme - 'Sustainable and Local', encouraging us to reuse materials and to source locally.
The exhibition was held in the opulent, Victorian era mansion called Labassa. This building is owned by the National Trust and its exquisite interiors and furnishings required us to exercise great care when placing our arrangements so as not to do any damage.
On the Saturday, our Lucy conducted two demonstrations, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I had the honour of assisting her. Both sessions were booked out and the feedback from the audience was emphatically positive.
Below are her 12 arrangements.
