Austin Ikebana Group

Japanese Flower Arranging with Flo Bowen

Old and new Ikebana friends, Austin Ikebana Group is inviting you to join its June event where Flo Bowen will demonstrate the art of Japanese flower arranging. Flo Bowen grew up in Saigon, Vietnam and Paris, France absorbing both cultures. Flo learned Ikebana from her mother who would drive around tropical Saigon foraging for interesting materials, a skill that Flo has adopted. Flo joined the Austin Ikebana study group in 1999 and studied Ichiyo under Don Olsen. Flo’s Ikebana demonstration was featured in the Austin American Statesman in 2016. Flo constantly studies other Ikebana styles such as Sogetsu. She now pursues her passion for flowers as a floral designer, combining western and Ikebana styles to create original designs for private and commercial clients. Flo owns Boomyrang and can be found on FB and IG under Flo Bowen.

This event is free and open to the public (adults only) to attend as guest observers (no flower materials provided).

With limited seats in the Auditorium, pre-registration is required by June 4th.
