On Tuesday, April 16, 2024, the meeting of the Monterey Bay Chapter of Ikebana International featured , our own Kozue Knowles, Sogetsu School, past President and still a very active contributor to our chapter's Board of Directors. Kozue brought many beautiful examples of Furoshiki wrappings that were used in a demonstration of techniques for wrapping various kinds of gifts. The beautiful Furoshiki cloths were available to purchase and practice the wrapping techniques by the attendees of the workshop. The proceeds from the sale were generously donated to the Chapter's funds.
The meeting was well attended and inspiring to all. Refreshments were available during the social time following the workshop.
