About
John Spence
Eiryu 栄流
Sogetsu, Second Grade, Nikyu Shihan - Sanyo Instructor
John Spence learned ikebana the traditional way at age 8. His mother taught him. A career building anything from computer models to house remodeling to process engineering led to the realization ikebana could also be viewed as building an arrangement. Kado, the Art of Flowers became an integral part of his life. He is an instructor in the Sogetsu School of Ikebana and currently applies the aesthetics learned from Ikebana to building a Japanese garden at his house.
