About us

English
Ikebana International Copenhagen Chapter no. 93 (IICC) was founded in 1965 by Inie Quaade. The Chapter president and the other ikebana teachers are mainly educated within the Sogetsu school. The members of the association meet once a month.
The annual program is composed in advance with various themes. Each meeting begins with an ikebana demonstration for inspiration. The members then make their own arrangements and receive constructive critique from the instructor.
Since September 2020 Tokai University European Center in Vedbæk has become the splendid venue for our meetings.
