Create your own unique naturescape, beautifully preserved in an attractive wooden and glass shadow box. During the workshop, you’ll design and assemble your own original 9x9 composition using stabilized moss and other natural materials, combining textures and elements. It has the beauty of living greenery—yet stays vibrant for years.
- Beginner-friendly: step-by-step guidance and clear techniques
- A professional-looking result: everyone leaves with a finished, elegant piece
- Relaxing & mindful: a creative anti-stress activity you can truly enjoy
- Meaningful experience + take-home decor: not just a class—your own lasting artwork
- Great for occasions: birthdays, girls’ night out, mother & daughter time, a thoughtful gift experience
Why preserved moss is a great choice:
- Long-lasting beauty: keeps its color and texture for a long time
- Maintenance-free: no watering, no trimming, or special care
- Always looks fresh and green, even in winter
- Perfect for spaces where living plants aren’t convenient
We recommend bringing a bagged lunch or snack and a drink in a resealable container.
