Fun Kokedama classes in Australia

Fun things to do in Australia 

If you’re not familiar with kokedama and you’re wondering what kokedama classes in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and more may involve, these relaxing floristry classes will teach you how to create a Japanese moss ball as a way of displaying your plants. Kokedama literally translates as koke (moss) and dama (ball), and this form of floristry art was devised centuries ago in Japan as a unique way of displaying plants around the home. 

Simple and enjoyable to make, a kokedama ball requires just a few tools and materials to make from scratch, including the soil mixture for the base, gloves, water and, of course, the plants you'd like to use for your kokedama display. 

Your teacher, a talented and enthusiastic expert, will guide you through the entire process, providing easy-to-follow demonstrations and offering plenty of helpful tips and advice on how to make kokedama – and how to care for them afterwards. You'll get to choose from a variety of different plants that are well suited to this form of growing, and it won’t be long before you're enjoying getting your hands dirty and making your very own piece of living art to take home and display - or perhaps give to a loved one as a special personalised gift.

What to expect at kokedama classes for beginners 

Keen to cultivate your green thumbs and immerse yourself in this time-honoured Japanese tradition? There’s an array of fun-filled kokedama classes in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and beyond, so it shouldn’t be hard to find a kokedama workshop within easy reach. 

Not sure what to expect from your first session? There’s no need for jitters – learning how to make your very own Japanese moss ball is a soothing and therapeutic activity, with a firm emphasis on fun. No previous experience is necessary, and you'll soon find your confidence growing as, with the help of your experienced teacher, you're guided step by step through the formulation of your ball of soil and moss. 

Next, you'll be shown how to insert your selected plant into the moss ball and add the finishing touches to your very first kokedama masterpiece. Your new eye-catching plant can then be attached to a piece of driftwood, displayed in a special container, or suspended using string or a macrame plant hanger. This way, you can create beautiful living ornaments that will breathe fresh green life into your abode. 

Learning how to make kokedama is so much fun that you should consider sharing the experience with someone special. Your mum, for instance?
