Kokedama Workshop 1 - Maya Li x Dilly Dally Fair

Floating Moss Workshop (Kokedama)

Create your own miniature moss world in this hands-on workshop led by artist Maya Li.

In this 60-minute session, you’ll craft a beautiful glass ecological landscape featuring a hanging mini Kokedama (moss ball), a living moss mat, and natural decorative elements including a small sheep figure, stones, and wood pieces. No prior gardening or plant experience is needed — we’ll guide you through every step.

You’ll learn:

The basics of Kokedama (moss ball) culture and traditional making techniques

How to build and design a micro-landscape

Simple moss care and maintenance

At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your own completed glass terrarium (approx. 5.7" × 5.7" × 7"), a living piece of nature you created yourself.

This workshop is perfect for anyone who enjoys slow, mindful making and wants to bring a little green calm into their space.

What’s included:

All materials needed to complete your glass ecological landscape

Guidance from an experienced artist instructor

Take-home care instructions

Limited to 10 seats.
