KOKEDAMA WORKSHOP
Wahroonga
Saturday November 6, 2.00pm to 4.00pm
Join the Living Skills Team for a fun afternoon making Kokedamas.
The art of Kokedama literally translates from "koke" meaning moss and "dama" meaning ball. A Kokedama is a ball of soil covered with moss, on which an ornamental plant grows. The idea has is origins in Japan, where it is a combination of the nearai bonsai and kusamono planting styles.
We will be making out Kokedamas using sphagnum moss covering the soil of a plant and then wrapped around and around with twine.
These can be fixed to a piece of driftwood or bark, suspended from a string or nestled in a clear attractive container. These also make lovely gifts.
I will have a selection of succulents and spider plants you can choose from for your kokedama or you can bring you own small plant you wish to use. We will only be making small kokedamas.
You will need to bring gloves (if you wish), a waterproof bag to take your kokedame home and a plate of snacks to share with the group afterwards as we sit, admire and discuss our creations!
