Modelling makes you happy. Immerse yourself in the creative act, find yourself, and model your own Ikebana with DAS and Canson. The DAS Ikebana Clay Modelling Set is a unique set that invites you to experience mindfulness through modelling, engaging all the senses while guiding you to create elegant floral compositions inspired by the ancient Japanese art of Ikebana.
Ikebana, which means 'composing flowers and making them live', is more than arranging flowers. It reflects a balance between the three fundamental elements - sky, man, and earth - symbolised by the three branches of each composition.
With DAS and Canson, you'll have everything you need to bring this philosophy into your own practice. Mixing DAS White, DAS Wood, and DAS Glue strengthens the branches, allowing them to be modelled long, thin, and more resistant. The suggested proportions are shown in the included video tutorial: use DAS White as the base and add small amounts of DAS Wood for texture and colour patterns, which also helps reduce mess while mixing.
DAS Wood has a naturally porous texture thanks to its wood fibres, giving a distinctive wooden look to your creations. For a smoother finish, dampen the surface with water (or water mixed with PVA glue) while modelling, or lightly sand once dry.
Perfect for artists, enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to explore their creativity, this set makes Ikebana accessible in a whole new way - blending traditional floral philosophy with the tactile joy of modelling.
