My friend and I had a wonderful time! Valeria and Lee are knowledgeable and kind. We were so very pleased with our arrangements and feel like we will be able to make more in the future. It was a great experience.

The class exceeded my expectations! Our teacher, Valeria, was knowledgeable, kind, patient, and made me feel confident in moving forward with the Ikebana arrangement. She provided some history of the current style of flower arrangement we were doing. Her husband, also a Master instructor helped as well and kept the class moving smoothly. And they provided water, tea, and snacks!

I received a gift card for the 3 class beginner's Ikebana class from my children. It was e-mailed to me. Able to open up easily and sign up for the first class. Instructor Valeria kept me updated. I look forward to the next two classes and have found some other classes of interest to me for 2026!

Amazing class!

The class was amazing: informative, fun, relaxing, yet productive! Everyone had a great time, from myself (the birthday girl who asked for this class as her birthday gift) to skeptical husbands (who showed up out of solidarity ready to "endure" and ended up loving it). Valeria is a great teacher. She was passionate and patient, generous with her time and the supplies. Our flower arrangements were stunning! Thank you!

Incredible private ikabana class for our friend's birthday. Valeria and Leo were amazing. We had a wonderful time while learning so much. Our living flowers came out great. We can't wait to do it again.

She was very courteous and friendly to lead the workship. It was such a fun class to be with other people.

Valerie and was an amazing teacher. Her partner also had a wonderful spirit. I would have loved a little more education outside of the pdf sent before class or at least an overview of it before getting started, but nonetheless, I really enjoyed the time with mom. The class was really about an hour and we spent the last 30 minutes taking pictures.

I really enjoyed learning this new craft. I had a very special day with my daughter in -law. The teachers were so knowledgeable and such lovely people to boot. My arrangement came out prettier than I thought, so thank you for the instructions and space to take time to " Down Elevator" my day.

Amazing!! So so fabulous. Me and my daughter loved it! We will be back :)

Great class — great teachers!

Valeria's ikebana class was such a great experience! She provided a wonderful balance of history, meaning, and hands-on instruction, making it both informative and enjoyable. You can tell she genuinely cares about the art and the quality of her teaching. The class size was perfect—small enough for everyone to get individual attention. I was really happy with my arrangement and will definitely be back (bringing my boyfriend next time!). Highly recommend!

This was such a phenomenal class. I particularly enjoyed how this art form is so focused on bringing natural elements indoors. Valeria is so passionate about sharing this art form, would absolutely recommend this class.

The class was great! Valeria was knowledgeable and a wonderful teacher. Highly recommend!

The process of unplugging from hectic, problematic world and plugging into the beauty of nature was very therapeutic. Valeria and Lee are wonderful, knowledgeable instructors. I had so much insights while creating my ikebana arrangement.

I'm definitely going to continue learning the art of ikebana with them.

I loved this class!!! Teacher was a very friendly and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this class.

The class was incredible! Valeria and Lee ran a wonderful class that was educational on both the philosophies and practices of their particular school of Ikebana. The atmosphere was extremely welcoming, calming, and joy-filled. We came on a day where they were doing a free holiday class, so we received a free class and additional class for the future which we totally didn't expect. Afterwards, there was even free food, drinks, and desserts put together by this small, loving ikebana community. We truly felt the holiday spirit and fell in love with ikebana in such a short period. Everyone was so welcoming. We'll definitely be back.

Well organized. The event space had parking! And lunch was included! All materials prepared and presented in an easy to follow method

This was my first Ikebana class, and I was soooo happy I took Valeria's class! The LA location was very easy to find, and parking provided was a great perk. Valeria explained in wonderful detail about the art of Ikebana. It's quite an emotional art I never knew. You can tell her passion, education, and love for Ikebana is genuine. She and her husband were so kind and patient, willing to help without judgment. I'll definitely be back! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful art!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience Valeria and Paul are great instructors and my knowledge of ikebana was expanded. 10/10 recommend!
