Montreal Chapter #155

We had a nice demonstration by Mrs. Lynne Williams and Mrs. Adrienne Doedel of Ohara School.

The arrangements were beautiful, elegant and joyful using the different material of the season and making an amazing floral composition. Their creative world is infinite with techniques and color combination. Some arrangements were typically classical respecting their school tradition and some arrangements were very modern expressing their own thoughts and artistic sensibility. Mrs. Lynne Williams explained about Ohara School and their arrangements in French and English. It was very stimulating for the members, who enjoyed it so much.
It was the first meeting for the term 2022-2023 after three years of Corona Virus pandemic. The members were very happy to meet together sharing their passion of Ikebana and a pleasure of friendship.
