The Art of Chinese Flower Arrangement
Author: Cai Zhongjuan

ISBN: 9781602200265

Book Description
This colorful flower arranging book features instructions and designs from one of the world's greatest living masters.

This book records the origin and development of Chinese flower arrangement. Besides the principle of composition, techniques of modeling, and configuration of flowers and materials, you will also discover the methods of production and ten actual flower arrangement projects. You can either follow the lessons step by step or capture the ideas and be inspired to develop your own flower arrangement artwork.
