Kokedama: Japanese Moss Ball Workshop
Learn to make stunning kokedama floral displays with our floral design short courses in Sydney!
Get your hands dirty as you make two kokedamas to add a little green to your home.
Kokedama is an ancient Japanese technique (meaning moss ball), where a plant’s root system is bound with moss and string, transforming it into a mini work of art.
Join this workshop to learn step-by-step how to make a kokedama and how to incorporate the Japanese “Wabi-Sabi” principle of embracing imperfection, impermanence and awareness of natural beauty into your everyday life.
