THE CRAFT

Hands‑On Kokedama Assembly

A practical, step‑by‑step workshop teaches the traditional Japanese technique of forming a plant’s roots and soil into a wrapped moss ball and finishing it with twine—every participant creates their own piece during the session.

THE MATERIALS

Everything Included: Live Orchid and Supplies

The workshop provides a live orchid, orchid mix compost, bonsai soil mix, moss, twine and all tools and supplies needed for assembly, so no equipment is required from attendees.

THE VIBE

A Relaxed Studio Session with Drinks and Pastries

Set up as a social, creative class, you can sip drinks from the in‑studio bar or enjoy coffee and pastries at the Van Goghblin Cafe while you work and listen to music.

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.
