Workshop of Korin Iris Screens

Faye Phillips, Sogetsu teacher Second Sanyo lead our chapter in recreating a gorgeous Korin Screen using iris. This was based on the Sogetsu lesson 5-17.

We were taught about iris and the iris leaves as we made our individual arrangements. Once we were finished, many were able to bring their kenzan to place in the larger container and then we added 2 more smaller black containers to each side to expand a bit more. All enjoyed the group project.

After lunch, our afternoon program made nageire containers out of PVC pipes. This was demonstrated by Saskia Eller, and we all got a new container to take home. To paint or leave white is the individual’s choice once they take them home.
