Join us for a fun and hands-on terrarium workshop where you'll design and build your very own glass terrarium to take home! Using a mix of air plants, succulents, soil, rocks, sand, and decorative elements, you'll learn the art of layering and composition to create a thriving miniature ecosystem.

Throughout the class, you'll explore different terrarium styles and techniques, gaining the confidence to experiment and personalize your creation. This workshop is a perfect opportunity to connect with nature, express your creativity, and learn plant care tips.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a beautiful, low-maintenance terrarium to brighten up your space and bring a touch of greenery indoors.


Your ticket includes all materials and refreshments, so just bring your creativity! This guided art-making experience offers plenty of flexibility, allowing you to explore and create at your own pace.
