Workshop led by Brandon Forsht.

Once a flower is cut from the plant, we have ended its life. It is our duty as ikebana artists to create something beautiful in the short time the flower has left. While some plant materials simply do not last when cut, others just need a little help. That help can come in the way of fire, ice, crushing, alcohol, alum or other chemicals. While some of these methods may seem like torture, they will aid the flower in taking up water.
