Kokedama
This workshop creates traditional Japanese Moss Balls (Japanese: Kokedama 苔玉) which are balls of soil that are covered in moss and hold a live plant. Kokedama is easy to enjoy and decorate in your space as a hanging, floating plant to brighten up your space. Workshop includes all materials of Kokedama which you will make 2 Kokedama and take home at the end of the session. In this workshop also learn how to choose the plants and how to take care of them.
Chabana
Discover the art of simplicity through Chabana (茶花), the traditional flower arrangement for Japanese tea ceremonies. This class explores seasonal flowers, their natural beauty, and the unique philosophy of Chabana, which honors how flowers grow in nature rather than imposing a rigid structure.
Learn to create your own arrangement, blending traditional concepts with modern living. Held in a Japanese tea house, this workshop offers a full cultural experience, concluding with the placement of your Chabana in the alcove (tokonoma, 床の間) of an authentic tea room.
