Quincy Melbourne invites guests for a creative afternoon with Azumi Ishikawa to explore the Japanese art of Ikebana
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, 2022-Aug-03 — /Travel PR News/ — If there was a positive to the pandemic, it was that the lockdowns led many people to discover the joy of creative expression, in everything from crochet to ceramics, watercolour to woodwork.
Quincy Melbourne’s ‘lunch and learn’ afternoon on Saturday August 27 invites guests to explore another – the noble Japanese art of Ikebana, floral arrangements traditionally used to decorate temples and the tokonoma (alcove) of a Japanese home.
Born in Osaka, the daughter of a master of the ancient art, your teacher for the day is Azumi Ishikawa, owner of bespoke floral studio byAzumi in South Yarra. Azumi’s mission is to gently guide our guests through the principles of Ikebana: finding form, movement, balance, and harmony via the elements of line, colour, and mass.
Over one enchanting, relaxed afternoon, guests will be provided with all the flowers and materials to make their own stunning, contemporary arrangement and learn the skills to continue designing and creating impressive Ikebana at home.
Lunch will be provided by the equally creative Salted Egg team, with a Thai-inspired tasting menu by Executive Chef Adam Woodfield. Dishes include pomelo betel leaf with caramelised coconut, chilli, and mint; Yellow curry of spiced pumpkin with shallot, Thai basil, and pickled ginger; Raw kingfish with green nahm jim, taro chips, finger lime and shiso; Roasted duck stir fry with crispy egg noodle; and Chef’s special son-in-law eggs with yellow bean sauce, green mango, and herb salad.
Join us at Quincy for this deliciously creative afternoon with Azumi Ishikawa and Wildflower Wines and learn a new artform that’s both inspiring and useful. Free-flowing Prosecco, from the aptly named Wildflower Wines from Western Australia, will keep things sparkling.
