The sun is shining and Summer is coming! Let's get out and see some blooms or as we call it in Japanese, Hanami.
Azumi will demonstrate how to create a nice, simple floral design using tableware as an alternative to vases. Get ideas and tips to design a centre-piece that will brighten up your kitchen table.
Some hands-on experience will give a good idea of the design process.

All ceramic pieces are made by local Japanese artist Terunobu Hirata. His work is simple, delicate and inspired by Japanese pottery styles. You will be able to buy these pieces on the day. This is a great opportunity to purchase Christmas gifts or something special for yourself.
