IMPORTANT:

Rikka students must  have the Rikka curriculum book.

The Rikka curriculum container, which comes with its own kenzan is also highly recommended.

If you are unable to purchase the container, please show the container and kenzan you plan to use to your teacher in advance so they can advise you of its suitability.

Wire and floral tape are always needed for Rikka. Let us know if you need some. We have supplies available for purchase through our store.

Please bring your own bag lunch and beverage of choice (a kettle is available).

All Rikka Class sign ups close 3 weeks before each class so that appropriate material can be ordered.

$30 per class for flower material & facility charges. This may be adjusted if market prices warrant.
