What the day feels like
What the Workshop Feels Like
The session unfolds as a compact, guided craft: an introduction to Kokedama and the materials, then hands‑on instruction as you form the soil mix around the roots, wrap the moss, and bind the sphere with twine. The atmosphere pairs focused instruction with a casual studio bar and cafe options, and by the end each participant departs with a finished, living orchid moss ball.
