'Immerse yourself in the ancient art of Penjing, where the grandeur of nature is captured in a miniature landscape. Join us at the serene Merchant and Green florist and specialty plant store, for a special Penjing Garden Workshop—a journey into the delicate world of tiny trees, meticulous landscapes, and the profound philosophy behind this traditional Chinese art form.
Suitable for beginners, our experienced instructor, Chris Saban, will provide easy-to-follow, step-by-step demonstrations and offer personalised guidance throughout the entire process.
The class will take place at the enchanting Merchant & Green studio in Redfern, surrounded by lush greenery. All the premium materials you need to bring your mini tree to life will be provided, including an Asian-style ceramic pot, potting mix, a miniature figurine, decorative stones, and moss. You'll even receive a pair of scissors to use during the workshop and take home afterwards.
During the workshop, you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and receive one-on-one feedback from Chris.
The entire experience is designed to be enjoyable and educational, leaving you with not only a handcrafted Penjing-style plant but also an information sheet and the confidence to continue building your own mini tree collection.
The Merchant & Green team looks forward to welcoming you to our studio soon!
