IKO IKO's Workshop II: Felting!

IKO IKO
presents

FELT IT: a workshop on the ancient process of felting wool

saturday, july 19, 1-4 pm

The day following the opening of the new installation Dependent- Arising and Part I- Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species at IKO IKO, artist Ashley Helvey led a felting wool workshop to a small group of curious ladies where we leaned one of the earliest textile forms.

All the wool was purchased from the Stonehaven Farm in Oregon. Our fleeces were from some very beautiful Shetland sheep named Bess and Cascadia.

IKO IKO's Workshop I: Ikebana!

Pictures from IKO IKO's first Ikebana workshop led by Ohara School level III Master Yumiko Kikkawa.

Yumiko presented a brief history of the practice in Japan and talked about the many different schools active here in the United States today. She did three advanced demonstration arrangements, candidly explaining the relationship of color, the importance of the line and structure of the flowers when arranging and how to let the flowers "talk to you." After instructing the parameters of the basic Rising Form arrangement, everyone set off to make their composition.
