SHAPE & STRUCTURE

Join us for an intimate, hands-on workshop exploring the art of living design through the shaping and styling of mature specimen trees.

Over the course of this two-hour experience, you'll learn how principles of form, balance, movement, and composition can transform a tree into a sculptural living centerpiece. Guided step-by-step, participants will work with a mature 3–4 ft specimen tree and a handcrafted terracotta vessel to create a finished arrangement that reflects their own aesthetic while drawing from bonsai-inspired design techniques.

This workshop is designed for beginners and plant enthusiasts alike. No prior experience is required.

• Principles of bonsai-inspired design and composition
• How to identify and enhance a tree's natural movement and character
• Structural pruning and shaping techniques
• Potting and composition methods for long-term success
• Ongoing care and maintenance to help your tree thrive for years to come

• A mature specimen tree provided by Taru Kala
• A handcrafted terracotta vessel provided by The June House (11" wide × 7.5" tall)
• Premium soil, finishing materials, and all necessary supplies
• Guided instruction throughout the workshop
• Light snacks and beverages
• A completed living sculpture to take home

Participants will leave with a completed arrangement approximately 3–4 ft tall, professionally styled and planted during the workshop.

The retail value of the finished arrangement is approximately $350.

This workshop is ideal for anyone who appreciates thoughtful design, natural materials, and the beauty of living objects. Whether you're a plant collector, interior design enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique creative experience, you'll leave with both new skills and a one-of-a-kind piece created by your own hands.

To ensure a personalized experience and ample one-on-one guidance, seating is limited.

We look forward to creating with you.
