Kokedama – Moss ball planter Workshop
Learn the art of creating stunning moss balls! Discover the traditional Japanese technique of Kokedama, and explore the benefits of this unique gardening method. Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike! Bring your creativity and leave with a living piece of art to brighten your home.
*Plants may vary. You may bring your own rooted philodendron/pothos cutting if desired as you may have time to create a second moss ball as time permits.
Kintsugi – Golden Joinery Workshop
Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the cracks with a golden bond. This practice not only restores functionality but also emphasizes beauty in imperfection, celebrating history and uniqueness rather than hiding flaws. Each piece becomes a one-of-a-kind work of art. All materials included, but you may want to bring your own gardening gloves.
Ikebana – Flower Arranging
Ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement, emphasizes harmony, balance, and simplicity. Unlike typical floral designs, it focuses on line and space rather than mass. Commonly used elements include branches, leaves, and blossoms arranged in innovative ways to convey deeper meanings or emotions. All materials included, but you may want to bring your own gardening gloves and/or shears.
*Flowers may vary according to season.
