Discover the Art of Kokedama: A Japanese "Moss Ball" Workshop
About this Event
Discover the beauty of kokedama, a traditional Japanese botanical art form that transforms plants into elegant living sculptures wrapped in moss.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the history and basic techniques of creating your own kokedama from start to finish.
No prior experience is necessary. This class is perfect for beginners and plant enthusiasts alike. All materials will be provided, and your completed kokedama is yours to take home.
Join us at Lyon Arboretum to slow down, work with your hands, and experience the calming art of creating something beautiful from nature.

About the Instructor
Ellise hosts beginner-friendly workshops, from kokedama and terrariums to moss wall art, alongside her mom, and has welcomed 500+ plant parents to hands-on classes across Hawaii and beyond. Born in South Korea and raised on Oahu, her love of plants started young, picking cherry tomatoes from her grandpa's garden as a kid. When she's not leading a class, you'll find her at the beach, fishing, paddleboarding, or hunting for her next plant find.
