Ikebana
Workshops on Ikebana,
the Japanese art of flower arrangement
10.05.2026: Symbols of Spring
In this workshop, participants explore a rare combination of structured form and symbolic narrative. Each participant will create a signature work: an ikebana that carries a specific meaning and reflects the current season on a personal level.
May is the moment when spring reaches its peak; nature is fully open and preparing for the transition to the next season. Through the work, you try to create an expression of spring.
Tamara will introduce the fundamentals of this 500-year-old art and share professional techniques from Japanese ikebana schools. You will learn the practical skills needed to handle materials and translate these ancient principles into your own practice.
Tamara will suggest several symbolic elements traditionally associated with spring in Japan, and connect them with local Portuguese nature as well as your own identity.
This composition will serve as a bridge connecting abundance with minimalism. The focus will be on clean lines and the deep meaning of every element used, as we strive to create pared-back yet profound works.
