The DIY Terrarium Workshop is a grounding, hands-on experience where art, nature, and design come together. In this workshop, you’ll work with live succulent plants to create 1–3 terrariums, depending on your pace and the size of the plants you choose.
This class goes beyond simple planting. You’ll learn how to thoughtfully layer materials, balance textures and colors, and build a miniature ecosystem that is both visually striking and sustainable. Using colorful sand and natural elements, you’ll turn each terrarium into a living art piece.
No prior experience is needed. The workshop is beginner-friendly while offering plenty of creative freedom for those who enjoy experimenting with composition and design. Everything is included — from all materials and professional guidance to light snacks and drinks — so you can fully relax and enjoy the process.
