Midori Fine Design captures the essence of these precious qualities in contemporary design, enhancing and accentuating the natural beauty of flowers through floral arrangements, paintings and prints.


The Language of Flowers Workshop
Four-Day Creative Retreat

Hollyhock Retreat Centre
Cortes Island, BC (map)
Registration open, spots still available!
A four-day retreat at Hollyhock, outdoors amidst the natural autumn wonders of gardens and forests of Cortes Island. Inspired by Ikebana, Japanese floral arrangement from the Sogetsu School, we will work with found and cultivated plants and flowers. Arranging in low vases, suiban and sketching indoors we include tinted Japanese washi papers for simplified line and gesture drawing and collage.
