    I truly enjoyed this class! It was personal and fun! The one issue was with Course Horse...they kept emailing me the class was cancelled. Then the instructor sent me the zoom link just before the class was to start. I really didn't know if there was going to be a class or not right up to the class start time...this was frustrating.

    The instructor individualized the class to my specific interests and experience and helped me understand how to create an Ikebana-inspired floral arrangement I can use again and again. I look forward to taking another session of this program!

    It was great. The instructor gave us the philosophy and basic tenets behind the arrangement first and explained everything with logic. I think I made a pretty good arrangement thnx to her ! The only thing I would add is if we can be told exactly how many flowers we should get beforehand, that will help. (For context - I used 4 flowers and some greens)

    The class was great fun and an exceptional learning experience because of the instructor, Ryoko. She shared the principles of ikebana as well as traditional and cultural information that enriched my knowledge. I would encourage anyone even mildly interested to take the class because they will be glad they did.
