Internationally acclaimed and award-winning practitioner in Sogetsu Ikebana, Emily Karanikolopoulos, is holding yet another one of her popular workshops in Japanese Floral art, on Saturday 19 August, 10am-12pm at Gas Works Art Studios in Albert Park.

With a career spanning over 18 years, she has dedicated herself to the art form, immersing in intensive studies, workshops, and events, both in Australia and at the Sogetsu headquarters in Tokyo. Her contributions and awards have earned her international recognition within and beyond the ikebana community. Her ikebana compositions are infused with ideas inspired by architecture, paintings, fashion, and sculpture.
