The show opened Friday April 11, and will run thru April 20. For more information on the Aboretum go to www.usna.usda.gov. The show is at The National Bonsai and Penjing Museum and is open daily from 10am to 4pm. I’ll have pictures of my work later (once I put some arrangments in). There are also demonstrations each weekend at 1pm.�

Sogetsu Ikebana at the Torpedo Factory
Today a group show by the members of Washington DC Sogetsu Ikebana opened at the Torpedo Factory Art Gallery in Alexandria, Virginia. Each of the members got to choose pieces of art done by artist at The Art League and Torpedo Factory. I choose wonderful 3-D wall sculpture by Mary Lynch, and an exquisite glass sculpture by Allison Sigethy. Mary’s piece is titled “Christo’s Canyon” paying homage to installation artist Christo. Allison’s piece is titled “Windswept”, and I might mention that she uses recycled industrial glass in her work. So I would like to say “Thank you” to both artist and encourage everyone to stop by their studios at the Torpedo Factory and see more of their work. The show at the Torpedo Factory will be open from February 1-4, 2008. There will be a demonstration by my Sensei, Jane Redmon, at 1:30pm at the Gallery on Saturday, February 2nd. There will also be a demonstration of the Japanese tea ceremony at 1pm On Sunday February 3rd. A muscial performance by the Washington Toho Kodo Society will begin at 3pm. All free to the public! This is my ikebana arrangment in the show. I used some mitsumata branches that I soaked in water, reshaped and painted black. With that I paired aspidistra leaves which were used to mimic the motion of the glass sculpture. A mass of rust colored Mokara orchids to pull in the rust color of the wall sculpture completed the design.
