WINTER PARK WORKSHOP FIELD GUIDE
Moss, Twine and Quiet Focus: Building a Living Kokedama in Winter Park
A two-hour, hands-on Kokedama workshop in Winter Park where participants learn to wrap roots in moss and twine and leave with a ready-to-display living sculpture.
Moss, Twine and Quiet Focus: Building a Living Kokedama in Winter Park.
In a compact studio in Winter Park, Stroke of Art leads a focused, two-hour workshop that translates a centuries-old Japanese gardening technique into an accessible craft: the Kokedama, a self-contained moss ball that turns an ordinary houseplant into a sculptural object. The class walks you step-by-step through packing a bonsai soil mix, encasing the roots in lush moss and securing the form with natural twine so you can display or hang a living piece at home.

What the day feels like
What the Workshop Feels Like
The session unfolds as a deliberate, hands-on craft: an instructor-led demonstration followed by guided, step-by-step assembly as participants form soil-wrapped root balls, layer on moss and bind the piece with twine. The pace is unhurried; by the end of the roughly two-hour class each person leaves with a finished, living art piece for a shelf or to hang at home.
