#85 Detroit Chapter (USA) December workshop
Our Chapter’s December workshop was taught by Ichiyo Associate Master Liz
Lawra. We enjoyed making holiday centerpieces using birch branches she collected from a neighbor’s fallen tree. Lucky us! We chose to create symmetrical or asymmetrical designs in low containers. The workshop was a great success.
In the afternoon we celebrate our year with a delightful potluck lunch and friendship through flowers. We will take a two month break and start back in March 2024.
