How do you ignite a passion in children and young people? By giving them the freedom to explore and discover, by allowing them to make their own choices, by embracing mistakes, and by keeping things fun and practical. And that is exactly the approach of Louise Worner in My First Ikebana.
My First Ikebana is a creative, engaging and fun step-by-step Ikebana book for the young and the young at heart. Even though Ikebana has many rules, requires quite a lot of skills and uses sharp tools like kenzans and pliers, Louise Worner has found that formula that makes learning Ikebana not feel like a chore or task. By keeping things light and fun, and by using unusual and child friendly materials, this book wants to foster a lasting interest in ikebana from childhood through the teenage years, and beyond.
From simple to complex arrangements, My First Ikebana caters to different skill levels and attention spans. Whether you''re a beginner or advanced, there''s something for everyone. Complex and more advanced arrangements have been included to inspire older children and adults with creative ideas for their own arrangements.
This is the ideal start-to-Ikebana book for young adults, and for (grand)parents wanting to share the love for Ikebana.
