  • 5/5 from Madeline Roelofsma, attended Sep 2026: Great introduction to Ikebana! There were only 2 of us in the workshop (myself and my friend) which meant we got plenty of attention from the lovely teacher. We each produced two arrangements- shame we couldn’t take them home, but we got some good photos and will definitely try out our new skill at home. We also caught the tail end of a session with more experienced students, and it was great to see what they were doing.
  • 5/5 from Sara Chin, attended Jul 2026: Lovely teacher. Encouraging and helpful. It was easy to receive this class as a gift.
  • 5/5 from Elaine Chong, attended Jul 2026: I really enjoyed my ikebana class with Hiromi! It was my first time and I was amazed at how you assemble the flowers together is very geometric and something you can measure out to create a beautiful balance with the flowers. There are lot of different rules, I would definitely like to take more classes to learn more.
