Noncredit / Fall 2009
Delivery/Location: Fort Collins
This course is offered through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Colorado State University. You must be a member of Osher to enroll in this course.
Many of us bemoan the attention and energy given to "negative" issues and events in our world. This course will shift you to the positive as we stop and smell the flowers!
Join us as we explore beginning techniques and design principles of Ikebana, a Japanese tradition from the 6th century. Ikebana is a contemplative art using the beauty and form of flowers and greenery as the medium. Practitioners cultivate awareness and attention to balance, harmony and space through the creative world of Ikebana. These principles can then be incorporated into everyday life.
Note: Participants will be asked to bring their own flowers and greenery to the second session.
Noncredit courses do not produce academic credit nor appear on a Colorado State University academic transcript.
Instructors
Sharon Stuart, Master Teacher Sogetsu School, has studied Ikebana for 15 years. She received her teaching diploma in 1999 and traveled to Japan and elsewhere for additional master classes. Sharon participates in Ikebana exhibits and demonstrations held in Denver.
