For additional information call 416-621-1070, or visit www.sherwaygardens.ca. Get inspired by the ancient Japanese art of floral arrangements, as experts from the school of Ikebana provide hands on teaching for people interested in learning how to construct artistic floral arrangements. Visitors can also check out the many interesting and intricate arrangements from traditional to modern styles that will be on display at Sherway Gardens throughout the weekend. “Ikenobo Ikebana is living art,” states Emily Wu, show organizer and senior professor of Ikenobo Ikebana. “Immerse yourself in the centuries old tradition at Sherway Gardens and learn how to make your own piece of Japanese inspired art during the daily expert demonstrations.” Ikenobo Ikebana Demonstrations: Saturday, September 18, 2010 1:00pm and 3:00pm Sunday, September 19, 2010 2:00 pm The Living Art of Ikebana DVD, an easy-to-follow instructional DVD on how to create striking flower arrangements in the Japanese tradition will be available at each session. Using branches, leaves and any seasonal flowers such as roses, orchids and camellia, Ikebana artists create floral arrangements that are intricate, yet uncomplicated. Ikebana is distinguished from other ornamental flower arrangements with its goal of creating asymmetrical harmony of line, form, texture and colour between plants and container. Details ranging from the placement of the vase and materials are taken into consideration when creating an arrangement and the structure of the arrangement itself creates three points – Shoka – that symbolize heaven, earth and humankind. Most trees and flowers are underlined with specific meanings. The simple and subtle lines of this ancient floral art add a touch of elegance and Zen to any décor. Ikebana is also referred to as “kodo bana,' or the 'way of flowers' and promotes inner harmony and patience. This can be attributed to both the sensation associated with arranging beautiful flowers and creating unique designs for personal enjoyment. Given the highly stressful society most people endure, Ikebana offers an escape from a busy lifestyle and an outlet to exercise creativity. 'The goal is to get to the stage where your Ikebana designs are completely personalized, which is really a work of art,” says Wu. 'Regardless of your style the guiding principles are always simplicity and elegance.” http://www.torontoevents.com/index.php?com=detail&eID=8057 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 http://www.torontoevents.com/index.php?com=detail&eID=8064 NEWSBOYS join Acquire the Fire, with Special Guest UnHindered and Evangelist Ron Luce gather thousands on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22 at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton.
