Ritsuko Ishikawa, who is one of my advanced students at KGC in Mitaka has been studying ceramic art for many years. She creates beautiful flowers to compliment any home using painted clay and resin. The colours of the petals and leaves are vivid and life-like and they look elegant and sophisticated in any room. She kindly created an arrangement for the 2008 wedding of my friends Etsushi and Fumiko. Being clay, these flowers can be placed anywhere and have the advantage of being washable. Of course, they will also last for years. If you are interested in seeing more of her work, please contact me and I will let her know of your interest.
