Ikebana Flower Arranging Workshop in Berlin

Look forward to our upcoming Ikebana workshop with Youco from @ikebananterior in our second studio at the Alte Münze in Berlin! We are delighted to be hosting our popular IKEBANA workshops there together with Youco this late summer/fall. The new premises provide the perfect setting for the special atmosphere of Ikebana. When the weather is nice, we also have the opportunity to use the quiet courtyard together and enjoy the late summer temperatures there.

We're looking forward to our next workshop with Youco from @ikebananterior! If you love flowers and ceramics as much as we do, this is the opportunity to discover the fascinating world of ikebana — a traditional Japanese way of handling flowers and giving them a second life in minimalistic artistic arrangements.

Youco, a Japanese designer, was raised by a mother who was very interested in ikebana. After leaving Japan and living all over the world, she reflected on the beauty of her cultural heritage and traditions. Inspired by this, she began offering modern ikebana workshops, in which she incorporated her unique design perspective.

Join Youco as she introduces you to the origins of this art and shows how you can create exquisite flower combinations in Japanese style — with a focus on simplicity, balance and minimalism — (theory and practice).
With the help of a little Kenzan, you can redesign, dissolve and reassemble your arrangements over and over again in order to try out different compositions and develop a feeling for this particular form of floristry.

The workshop fee includes all flowers and utensils such as a small Kenzan and matcha tea for everyone. For your arrangement, you will receive a small piece of pottery, which we made especially for this occasion.

Youco will be teaching the course in English. At the beginning, there will be a short welcome round and a joint intro in German and English. During the course, we can be reached at any time if needed. If you have any questions in German or need something translated, we will be happy to assist you.

We are happy to bring our popular IKEBANA workshops back in collaboration with Youco this late summer/autumn, hosted in our new Studio Mitte at the Alte Münze Berlin.

The new space offers an ideal setting for the serene and focused atmosphere of Ikebana. When the weather allows, we may also gather in the quiet courtyard to enjoy the gentle late summer light together.

Excited for our upcoming workshop with Youco of @ikebananterior! If you do love both flowers and ceramics as much as we do, this is the opportunity to discover the fascinating world of Ikebana — a Japanese traditional way of interacting with flowers and giving them a second life in minimalist artistic arrangements.

Youco, a Japanese designer, was raised by a mother who was very devoted to ikebana. After leaving Japan and living across the globe, she found herself reflecting on the beauty of her cultural heritage and traditions. Inspired by this, she began offering modern Ikebana workshops infused with her unique design perspective.

Join Youco as she guides you through the origins of this art form with an intro and shows you how to create exquisite floral compositions in the Japanese style, focusing on simplicity, balance, and minimalism (theory and practice).
Using a small Kenzan, you are encouraged to create, take apart, and re-arrange your designs multiple times, allowing you to experiment freely with different flower combinations and truly experience the essence of this approach.

The workshop fee includes all flowers, tools such as a small Kenzan, and matcha tea for everyone. For your arrangement, you'll receive a small ceramic piece to take home that we specially made for this occasion.

Youco wants to lead the workshop in English. We will begin with a short welcome and introductory round in both German and English. Throughout the course, we will be available to support you whenever needed. If any questions come up in German or anything needs translating, we will be happy to assist.
