WORKSHOP SUMMARY
Our Ficus Kokedama Workshop puts a creative spin on bonsai in one of the most hands-on, satisfying formats.
Perfect for plant lovers of all levels, this session teaches you how to turn a lush ficus bonsai into a living moss ball—known as kokedama, a traditional Japanese art form. You’ll sculpt, bind, and wrap your kokedama using decorative string, natural textures, and your own creative flair. To prepare for display, custom stain your own pedestal to show-off your new live art!
Grab a drink, roll up your sleeves, and craft a sculptural plant piece that’s as low-maintenance as it is beautiful. It's a full vibe—and you’ll leave with a living artwork ready to add style anywhere!

WORKSHOP DETAILS
"Dark Matter Coffee comes from Humboldt beginnings. We started our journey in 2007 on Chicago's West side at Star Lounge Coffee Bar, and the directive was simple: to make people happy. Our objective is to be transcendent between the worlds of science and creativity while simultaneously traversing a culinary vision quest as our guide.
A powerful sense of community has created a deep well of organic, hyper-inspirational partnerships and friendships. Naturally, an abundance of moments and ideas helped shape the future by questioning industry standards and pushing back on the safe and conventional blueprint."
