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!
EVENT ARRIVAL

WORKSHOP DETAILS
Off Color Brewing says "At some point John and Dave were born. They met while both studied at the oldest and most respected brewing school (of the two...and by the brewers that went to the one) in the US, the Siebel Institute, in 2008 and the brewery was envisioned while they both interned at Metropolitan Brewing afterwards. Most of Off Color's business plan is based off of Doug and Tracy at Metro knowing what they're doing, so you should go buy some of their beer too. After cutting their teeth at larger breweries, the two somehow convinced enough otherwise-very-smart-people to invest enough money for them
