Show your love in a meaningful, hands-on way this Valentine’s Day with a guided Ikebana workshop led by Alice Fujita-Schwarz, owner and instructor of BasketBana LLC. $40 per person. Tickets are sold through Alice’s website via BasketBana.
Ikebana—the traditional Japanese art of floral arrangement—is about more than flowers. It’s a practice rooted in balance, intention, and connection to nature. In this workshop, Alice will introduce the history and philosophy behind Ikebana while guiding participants through the creation of a heart-shaped basket arrangement designed to speak straight from the heart.
This experience can be shared as a couple or enjoyed solo—perfect for creating a thoughtful, handmade gift for someone special (or for yourself). No prior experience is necessary. Alice’s teaching style is welcoming and intuitive, encouraging creativity while honoring the quiet structure that defines Ikebana.
