Make a Kokedama in one class setting! Kokedama is a Japanese form of garden art... translated to English, it means " moss ball ". It is a unique and beautiful way to display plants. We will make (2) Kokedamas together in steps, creating the perfect mud ball with soils and then wrapping the roots of plant with moss and twine. One will be wrapped in the traditional method of twine, and the other will be wrapped with wire, and/ or ribbons. You will learn which method suits you! It creates a beautiful, one-of-a-kind work of art, drawing attention to the shape of flowers and foliage in contrast to the smooth ball of moss. You can display your Kokedama on tray or small stand, or hang from the ceiling.
