Succulent Workshop by Nigel Callisto

Create. Connect. Grow.

Join me, Nigel Callisto, in my East Nashville studio for a succulent workshop where art, nature, and community meet. This hands-on experience is designed for plant lovers, creative spirits, and anyone who enjoys slowing down to make something beautiful with their own two hands.

We’ll begin our time together by sharing tea as a group—a quiet moment to arrive, connect, and settle into the space. I’ll introduce you to the world of succulents, talk about the inspiration behind my handmade ceramic vessels, and share my personal journey of growing and propagating succulents indoors here in Tennessee. You’ll learn what makes these plants so special, how they thrive, and the techniques I use in my own studio for propagation and care.

From there, you’ll be invited to select your own 1-of-1 handmade pot to plant in—each one crafted by hand here in my studio and entirely unique. I’ll guide you step-by-step through creating a beautiful arrangement using succulents I’ve grown and nurtured myself. You’ll learn essential skills for designing, planting, and maintaining your own succulent displays, as well as tips and tricks for keeping them healthy in our local climate.

This workshop is more than a class—it’s a chance to meet and connect with other plant people in Nashville, to create something meaningful, and to leave with both a new piece of art and the knowledge to continue growing on your own.

Each ticket includes:

• A selection of studio-grown succulents
• Your choice of a handmade ceramic pot (each totally unique)
• All soil and materials needed to plant your arrangement
• Tea served at the start of the gathering
• A guided workshop on succulent care, propagation, and design
• A one-of-a-kind succulent creation to take home
• Access to a warm, creative community

Come for the plants, stay for the connection—and leave with something truly special.
