Kokedama Workshop
Kokedama Workshop with ArtMoment
A plant in a moss ball – a Japanese art you can make in a single evening.
What Is a Kokedama
Kokedama (Japanese for “moss ball”) is a plant whose root ball is wrapped in substrate and moss and bound with string – no pot needed. You can set it on a dish or hang it up to create a “flying garden”. It’s a living decoration and a little piece of meditation too: shaping the ball and wrapping it in moss has a surprisingly calming rhythm.
ArtKokedama workshop datesHow the ArtKokedama Workshop Works
We welcome you with a drink, and the instructor shows you how to choose a suitable plant and prepare the substrate. You learn to shape the root ball, wrap it in moss and secure it firmly so it holds its shape and moisture. You choose from several kinds of plants and ways of hanging. In three hours your kokedama is finished and you take it straight home – no drying, no waiting. We hold the workshop in Prague.

Kokedama Care
You water a kokedama by dipping the moss ball in water for a few minutes as soon as it feels light and dry – usually once a week. Let it drain and put it back in a bright spot out of direct sun; mist the moss now and then. At the workshop you get care instructions for your specific plant.
