About

An intimate evening exploring kokedama — a more intuitive, seasonal approach to floral arrangement. We move slowly, guided by the materials in front of us, and you'll leave with a piece you can take home and replant.

All materials are seasonal and sourced with care. No prior experience is needed — only curiosity.
