Ikebana Class: Fun Beginner Lesson

Learn the art of Japanese flower arranging in NYC!



1 hour Location Gramercy Class size 1 to 6 guests   $90 - $117 ($90 for Public; $117 for Private)

Join us for an afternoon of relaxing and learning the Japanese art of Ikebana in this workshop in NYC. In this beginner's class, you will get a taste of Ikebana flower arranging, and have the opportunity to create your own Ikebana arrangement to take home, or give as a gift.
Translating roughly to "making flowers come alive", Ikebana is a centuries-old Japanese art form that creates artistic sculptures out of nature. In this beginners lesson, our experienced instructor will provide assistance as you create an Ikebana arrangement with your own personal flair. This process is approachable and easy to understand. We provide all of the materials you will need, so you can simply relax and invite Zen-like energy into your experience.
This Beginner Lesson is distinct from our other offerings because it is the most simple introduction to Ikebana. It focuses on your creative flow than the theory of the art form. This session is perfect for anyone who is interested in trying out Ikebana in a fun small group session, or for anyone who simply wants to spend an afternoon creating something beautiful.

  • 5/5 from Prakriti Nambiar, attended Nov 2026: Junko was so incredible. She was so personable and funny and knowledgable. If you’re ever looking for or interested in an Ikebana class, I would highly highly highly recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Shawn Gatewood, attended Oct 2026: Class was very fun and engaging. It taught me a newfound appreciation for flower arrangement and a new lense to both express and receive a new form of art.
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Chen, attended Oct 2026: teacher junko is so lovely!! she was very accommodating when it came to rescheduling my class she started with an overview on the history and principles of ikebana which was helpful when it came to designing arrangements — a nice balance of tradition and creative freedom your arrangement is packaged with care for the journey home along with some extra flowers would love to return for another class ️
  • 5/5 from Allison Berger, attended Oct 2026: This class was a lot of fun! Very simple and straightforward instruction, which made for a relaxing and peaceful afternoon. The teacher and her assistant were kind and helpful. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Iris Zeller, attended Jul 2026: I was given a beginners Ikebana class as a birthday gift and had low expectations. It turned out to be so much fun!!! The teacher was absolutely lovely, gave great explanations and guidance.....and I ended up with an arrangement that I can't keep my eyes off. It's so beautiful. I am 80 years old and had no problem booking my online gift.
  • 1/5 from Yael Ron, attended Jun 2026: We arrived half an hour and the owner/instructor never showed up. I called and texted her. She said that there was a miscommunication and that she can not arrive to offer the class. She promised a refund. We list half a day of our visit to NYC planning our day around the class not to mention the waste of parking cost. Unacceptable!!!!
  • 5/5 from Travis Ballie, attended May 2026: Our teacher was so patient with us and gave us a detailed history of the origins of this art form. I appreciated this unique activity on a special day with my mom and family.
  • 5/5 from Isabel Tzeng, attended May 2026: Very fun! There was a short intro about the history of ikebana and then a demo that helped walk us through the process step-by-step. Afterwards we took pictures in a staging area and they wrapped up our arrangements for us to take home!
  • 5/5 from Deborah Tangen, attended May 2026: This was a very enjoyable class. Everyone there had a good time. Our teacher was very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. Her assistant was very helpful. It was a lovely afternoon.?
  • 5/5 from Queenie Arsenal, attended Apr 2026: We had such a fun and memorable class yesterday. We had a good introduction of the history of Ikebana and had the opportunity to create our own ikebana. Junko-sensei is a master of her own art. She is really sweet and helpful throughout the whole activity. It was a private class and we are really grateful and the whole class is worthwhile. Me and my friends had a lot of fun and would like to do it again soon!
  • 5/5 from Hannah Filippino, attended Apr 2026: Very helpful beginners’ close! I will likely take the more advanced version as well.
  • 5/5 from Ben Baker, attended Mar 2026: This was a great class for learning the basics of ikebana. Great instructions and beautiful flowers provided!
  • 5/5 from Yi Yang, attended Feb 2026: Really fun class where the instructor is kind and knowledgeable and you get to take home the most beautiful floral arrangement as well! Very different to Western style flower arrangement but beautiful in its own way. You also get to take pics of your creation and they wrap your arrangements for you to take home. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Oriana Ren, attended Nov 2025: Really informative, low-stress, fun and engaging! Loved making my Ikebana flower arrangement :^)
  • 3/5 from Aline Kazitoris, attended Oct 2025: I would like more on technical details, how can I do it at home? What flowers to buy? How to use the frog? I feel it is an activity more than it is a lesson. For people who want to do it once as something to do, but not for someone who wants to learn the basics and be able to practice at home.
  • 5/5 from Dawn Vega, attended Aug 2025: Lovely class…. The teacher and her assistant were very knowledgeable, I would 100% recommend
  • 5/5 from Krittiyanee Grey, attended Jun 2025: It was fun class, too bad it was on an hour. Highly recommended for something to do with your bestie or dating couple.
  • 5/5 from Alvin Victor, attended Jun 2025: Junko was very informative and inspiring. I was not familiar with Ikebana and she guided me through the history and reasoning behind the placement of each flower. I will be returning for more lessons since this was such a great way to destress.
  • 5/5 from Elise Briody, attended Jun 2025: A fun and informative class!
  • 5/5 from Lisa Steinberg, attended May 2025: This was a totally enjoyable experience. They were well prepared and the environment was lovely. The instructor was very knowledgeable and there was plenty of individual instruction. This was money well spent and I’d probably do it again.

  • 5/5 from Evan Moore, attended Nov 2024: This was an anniversary gift for my partner and I. What a wonderful class. The learning was very minimal (mostly a focus on Ikebana’s focus on no symmetry, and how to start creating an ikebana arrangement) but it was a calming and serene class, the teacher was so kind, sweet, and supportive. If you don’t want to feel much pressure and just want some resources to make a beautiful arrangement, this class is highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Anonymized ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Went into this class with no experience whatsoever, but with excitement to learn more about the art of Ikebana. Master teacher was amazing and made this class so much fun. I highly recommend and would do it again.

Junko Miura is a license Ikebana Master from the Ikenobo-Seigetsu school, the oldest and most traditional lineage in Japan. She dedicated over a decade of formal training to learning Ikebana; however, she has studied the art form for as long as she can remember, since her mother was an Ikebana Master as well.
Using her training in the ancient discipline, as well as her other work experience as an international designer, Junko developed Jun Fusion— a more evolved and artistic form of flower arrangement born from her personal creative vision.
Junko’s award winning creations based on her Jun Fusion method, as well as her extensive training in the ancient, traditional approaches, have made her one of New York’s most sought after artists of flower arrangements.
Junko has the honour of offering her creations to the Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations, diplomatic ceremonies at the embassies, museums, galleries, high-end retail stores, and other public and private spaces. She also holds a teaching position at the New York Botanical Garden.
