Class Description:
There's a whole world of plant styling beyond the terra cotta pot. Kokedama (which translates to "moss ball") is a centuries-old Japanese planting technique where a plant's roots are wrapped in soil and moss instead of a container, creating a living sculpture.
This workshop is all about the aesthetic side of houseplants — think sculptural and textural. You'll learn how to shape, wrap, and style your own moss ball from scratch, turning a simple root ball into a piece of living art you can display on a dish, in a hanging cradle, or nestled into a bowl.
All materials are included, but if you have a beloved houseplant at home you've been wanting to give the kokedama treatment, bring it along! We'll help you transfer it into its lush new moss home.
Level: All levels welcome

About the Artist:
Katherine Lazo is one of the resident artists at These Hands. She is a self-taught watercolor artist who developed an extensive portfolio before shifting my focus to pattern surface design. She loves social gatherings and has begun showcasing her live watercolor painting at various events. Nature serves as her greatest inspiration, as she was born and raised in the vibrant countryside of the Philippines.
