SUMMARY:Stems & Sips: Sake & Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 31\, 6:30-8:00pm EST \nFind your flow\, one branch and one pour at a time. \nTrue harmony happens when you strip things down to their absolute essence. In Japan\, this philosophy connects two beautiful crafts: Ikebana (minimalist floral arrangement) and Sake (the refined art of brewing). \nJoin us for Stems & Sips\, a relaxed\, hands-on evening designed for beginners. No complex jargon\, no overwhelming flower bundles—just clean flavors\, striking lines\, and a healthy dose of fun. \nWhat to Expect \nSake Demystified: Discover the stunning versatility of premium sake. You’ll taste a curated flight—ranging from bright and fruity to crisp and earthy—while learning the basics of how it’s made and served. \nThe Living Sculpture: Dive into Ikebana\, the traditional art of flower arrangement. Unlike dense Western bouquets\, Ikebana focuses on negative space\, asymmetry\, and making a few thoughtful stems speak volumes. \nGuided Creation: We will walk you through the core principles of line\, depth\, and form. Step-by-step\, you’ll learn how to position branches and blossoms to mimic the grace of nature. \nNo experience required. We provide the tools\, the knowledge\, and the liquid inspiration. You’ll leave with a gorgeous centerpiece\, a newfound appreciation for Japanese craft\, and a serious sense of zen. \nCost: $150 \nLocation: Commonwealth Wine School\, Cambridge\, MA\nInstructor: Marina Giordano \nENROLL HERE
