"One-material Miniature Arrangements"    

Presented by: Kay Storck - Sogetsu School 

Ikebana arrangements can be created using multiple materials, as in mazezashi arrangements, or a single flower arrangement that can be subtle yet exquisite.  This program focused on using just one material to make multiple miniature arrangements.  The aim was to make every arrangement show a different face and form so that each has its own expression and spirit.  Just a little bit of imagination can result in an array of images. 

Kay created two arrangements in a number of small vessels and demonstrated original and creative new ways of using natural material.  She wanted us to see something different than we usually see in a natural material, and she achieved this goal.
