Join us for this week's Art From Home with the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art! We will be creating Ikebana the Japanese art of flower arranging. We will also bring together our haiku, suiseki, and ikebana to create a tokonoma, the focal point of a Japanese house used to display paintings, pottery, flower arrangements, and other forms of art.
