About this Event
Mother's (& Other's) Day Kokedama Workshop
Create Your Own Little Plant Buddy
Because flowers die. Kokedama doesn't have to.
This Mother's Day, skip the grocery store bouquet and give the people you love something they'll actually keep alive. Join Uncommon Plant Guy at Demo Brewing for a hands-on kokedama workshop where you'll craft your very own moss ball plant — googly eyes optional, good time guaranteed.
? What's a Kokedama?
Kokedama (koh-keh-DAH-mah) is a centuries-old Japanese art form that turns a plant's root system into a freestanding moss ball — a living sculpture that needs no pot, no fuss, and no explanation. It's weird. It's beautiful. It's yours.
? What to expect:
No experience needed. Austin will walk you through the whole process step by step — you'll get your hands dirty, learn the technique, and leave with something you actually made. It's part plant class, part creative escape, and honestly just a really good afternoon.
Perfect for moms, non-moms, plant people, non-plant people, and anyone who deserves a break.
❓ What the Heck is a Kokedama?
Kokedama (pronounced koh-keh-DAH-mah) is a centuries-old Japanese art form that transforms the root system of a plant into a beautiful, freestanding moss ball. It’s like a living sculpture—no pot required! These unique planters can be displayed on a tray, dish, or even hung for a floating garden vibe.
It’s the perfect blend of nature, design, and meditative craft.
