FOREST FLOWERS
I am convinced, that being in nature will change our designs.
One of my favorite places in Japan is the Lake Nojiri. I spend my summers there, when its too hot in Kanagawa at the ocean side. Situated in Nagano, the region has a climate similar to my native South Germany. The forests are a bliss to walk in, the lake so wonderful to swim in. Summer and winter, springtime and autumn.
I am holding lessons there. And in other places.
UPCOMING FOREST LESSONS

The lesson takes place at guesthouse KOROKU.
A classic kominka, renovated and redesigned by Andrea Held Hikone. Situated between wide fields and bright forests, the KOROKU lets us breathe.
NOJIRI
The lesson takes place at LAMP. A guesthouse located by the lake, filled with young energy. We will go into the forests with a nature guide to be safe. The NOJIRIKO fills us with peace and relax.

The bouquets
Bouquets with branches are not easy to tie, they need to be secured and fixed with special techniques, but they are very fulfilling.
It's my pleasure to teach them to you.
We collect twigs in the forests, then create a bouquet in our hands.
Our bouquets are made out of twigs and flowers, which I provide. These natural materials do activate our senses in a specialway. They please our eyes and decorate our rooms, they train our imagination and they give us new skills.
The FOREST FLOWERS concept can take part in your region also!
Do not hesitate to contact me for further details.
