Mr Yoshiro Umemura, visiting from Sydney, gave an inspiring Sogetsu workshop on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th July. Four themes were chosen from the current curriculum :
Workshop 1: Intertwining plant materials
Workshop 2: Repeating similar forms or shapes.
Workshop 3: An arrangement showing lines at the base.
Workshop 4: An arrangement designed to be viewed from all angles
And in between, dinner at Geppetto's restaurant, in Kew, gave some light relief from the hard work.
