Forest in a Glass
Forest in a Glass by ArtMoment
A little piece of living nature you make with your own hands and take home.
Create your own forest in a glass
A forest in a glass – also called a moss terrarium – is a miniature ecosystem in a glass jar, overgrown with moss and ferns. At the ArtTerra workshop you create two of these green worlds: one larger and one smaller. Anyone can put one together, and because they are self-sustaining, they need almost no care.
More about the workshopHow making a forest in a glass works
Guided by experienced instructors, you learn step by step how to build a forest in a glass properly – from drainage and substrate to choosing the plants and the final composition. Everything goes at a relaxed pace in a pleasant atmosphere; the workshop takes about two hours. You also find out how to look after your miniature landscapes so they thrive for many years.

What do you take home?
You take home two finished moss terrariums, safely packed in a bag, plus the good feeling of having made something yourself. These glass landscapes make your home cosier and bring the calm and magic of nature into your days. Even after the workshop, we are happy to advise you on keeping them fresh and beautiful.

The experience takes about 2 hours. You build two moss terrariums – one larger and one smaller – and take both home straight away, safely packed.
No. The instructor explains how to layer the drainage, activated charcoal and substrate, and helps you choose the mosses and plants and arrange them. At the end you learn how to look after a closed ecosystem.
Very little. A closed jar keeps its own humidity – you only mist it now and then, when the glass stops fogging up. A bright spot out of direct sunlight is all it needs. Whenever you are unsure, we are happy to help.
