Ikebana Demonstration and Talk

Sunday, Nov. 17, 2:30 to 4 p.m., Ikebana Demonstration and Talk. Dr. Irina Korol Latorre, a master of the Ichiyo School, will present a live demonstration of the centuries-old tradition of flower arranging.
Latorre will create arrangements drawn from the themes and aesthetics of the prints featured in the exhibition Floating Beauty. She will explain how the principles of Ikebana —simplicity, balance, and harmony—are mirrored in the art.
Latorre is a member of Ikebana International Washington DC Chapter 1, as well as our regional Baltimore Chapter 118. Her Ikebana arrangements have been exhibited at the New Orleans Museum of Art, the House of Culture of Japan in Paris, the Japan Information & Culture Center (JICC) in Washington, DC, and the US National Arboretum. They have also been featured in books published in Belgium and Australia.
