At Ikebana Studio Ma, we embrace the Japanese concept of ma [間] — an intentional pause that highlights what is most authentic, creating space to reconnect with yourself and with nature.

Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to help you grow step by step. Over time, you’ll move beyond the fundamentals and learn to shape ikebana as expressive art—true to your own voice and your relationship with the natural world.

BEGINNER

The focus rests on three essential skills. By the end of this stage, students can create simple, harmonious designs that reveal and celebrate a flower’s natural beauty.

Intermediate

The three essential skills continue to deepen. You start notice subtler details, technique evolves into greater precision and control, and compositions take on a wider range of expressions.

Advanced

You will form a personal style, guided by themes and creative concepts. A fourth skill, expression, emerges, allowing designs to carry season, mood, and symbolism. You can handle complex or unconventional materials. 

You’ll Learn three ESSENTIAL SKILLS

The pillars that transform flowers into expressive art.

Awareness

Ikebana begins with seeing. Awareness is the ability to notice a flower’s unique qualities—its shape, line, colour, and the subtle story it carries. This sensitivity deepens over time, allowing you to observe seasonality, relationships between materials, and the quiet beauty in details often overlooked.

Composition

The art of arranging is guided by form, balance, and space. Composition teaches how elements interact—flowers, branches, and empty space working together to create harmony. From simple forms to complex structures, it is the language through which ikebana takes shape.

Technique

Technique is the craft that supports vision. It includes the practical skills of cutting, shaping, and positioning materials so they remain secure and alive. As technique refines, it becomes almost invisible—freeing the artist to create with confidence, ease, and fluidity.
