February 2021 - Morimono Challenge

Morimono is a style in the Ohara school using fruits, vegetables and non-conventional piled plant materials often on a defining base. The February challenge was for chapter members to make a Morimono style arrangement based on the February video by Satsuki Palter.

January 2021 - A Tribute to Norman Churchill

Norman Churchill is a Sogetsu Instructor and a long time member of our chapter. Many chapter 182 members owe their first instruction in ikebana to Norman. He was of enormous benefit to all of us but he relocated  to Las Vegas a few months ago. We will miss him but wish the best for him and his wife Beth. The one positive thing to his relocation was that he was willing to sell many of his containers and of course, many containers were purchased by chapter members. The members of chapter 182 would like to dedicate this virtual exhibition as a tribute to Norman Churchill using many of his containers and certainly to show to show our appreciation for years of his time and instruction.
