Learn from Sandy

Sandy will take you on a journey of discovery through the many aspects of Sogetsu Ikebana. As the recipient of the Mary and Norman Sparnon Scholarship Sandy will share her 3 months (and continued return visits) of her experiences in Japan of how to discover the beauty in ikebana first hand. Get to unleash your creativity using the beauty of nature’s bounty and explore the finer details of floral material, texture, shape, form etc. that we often fail to realise it is there for us to exploit.
I am a ‘Riji’ certified teacher (the highest level) of Sogetsu Ikebana teaching.

Specialised Tours Japan 2025

We had the most wonderful tour, saw so much, experienced many things and had the odd serendipitous moment. Weather was magic, perfect powder snow falling when we wanted it, sunshine when needed, I couldn’t have organized it better if I tried. My guide Miyuki and I are considering one last tour October 2026. I you are interested in knowing more please contact me and I will keep you in the loop.
