In this experience, we will dive into the Japanese art of kokedamas. We will first talk about the fascinating history of this old art form, as well as how it is related to Japanese customs and the philosophy of wabi sabi. Then, I will show you how to make your first kokedama. Making kokedamas involves turning peat moss into a soil ball and then wrapping it in sheet moss to create a self sustaining pot to hold your plant. Each person will have their own station to create TWO kokedamas, that will eventually be taken home.
This is perfect for those who are looking for a romantic and unique date or an enjoyable time spent with a family member learning a new trade. We have hosted many birthday and bachelorette parties, if you are looking for a special way to celebrate in nature. We are also perfect for group team building if you'd like to do a private corporate/business class.
Come prepared to get your hands dirty!

FAQ
"My wife and I had the best time learning how to build a moss wall with Topacio. Building a moss wall was such a unique and satisfying experience. It doesn’t matter if you have a lot of artistic ability or not, Topacio can guide you through the process to make sure you are happy with your wall. We LOVE the piece we made and we highly recommend the experience!"– Anthony B.
"My daughter and I had an amazing time at our moss wall workshop!! We were provided everything we could possibly want for our creation (and then some!) Topacio was great about helping guide us when we needed it but giving us freedom to create on our own. She was super kind and welcoming, and our moss wall is going to be an heirloom for years to come, I can tell already! Highly recommend this workshop ❤️"– Mazzy F.
"Our Moss Wall workshop was therapeutic and fun, to create your own moss wall with her expert guidance was immensely satisfying. She lays out all of the materials for you, walks you through each one, provides some inspiration to get you started, and then steps back to let you get creative, but is there the whole time to offer advice or just friendly conversation. Highly recommended!"– Sumi Y.
