- 5/5 from Jen Bohnert, attended Jan 2026: Valeria was so kind and knowledgable. She was great with feedback while letting us still have our personal vision and creativity. Excited for the next two classes!
- 5/5 from Corinna Cho, attended Nov 2025: We learned the history of ikebana and made a beautiful arrangement. Valeria was very insightful and gave us a great foundation in ikebana. Her husband also made the best banana bread. The arrangement lasted a very long time as well.
- 5/5 from Michele Kawamoto Perry, attended Oct 2025: I really enjoyed this class. The session started with a lesson on the history and theory behind Ikebana. They also explained the style of arrangement we were making that day. The teachers did a great job of illustrating how to handle the plant materials and where to place them. I walked out with a beautiful arrangement that lasted for weeks. I look forward to the next lesson!
- 5/5 from Karen Kajihara, attended Oct 2025: 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! Karen.
