The Art of Mounted Botanicals & Kokedama

Join us for a hands-on workshop at silver-leaves ART STUDIO. Explore the art of transforming plants into living botanical displays using techniques inspired by mounted plants and traditional kokedama. Learn to wrap and shape plants with moss, work with natural mounting materials, and style your piece into a sculptural display.

Create a freestanding kokedama, a mounted botanical, or blend the two techniques to make something uniquely your own. Learn basics of creation, styling, & care, so that your living artwork continues to thrive.

Our workshop includes:

🌿 A curated selection of plants perfect for mounting and kokedama
🪵 Natural wood mounts and decorative materials
🍃 Premium mosses and natural accents
🧶 All mounting and wrapping materials
🌱 Specialty soil mixes and growing mediums
🧤 All tools, supplies, and step-by-step instruction

During the workshop you'll learn:

• The art and origins of kokedama and mounted botanicals
• Plant selection and design principles for each technique
• How to create a beautiful, self-contained kokedama moss ball
• Techniques for mounting plants onto natural wood
• Creative ways to display and style your living botanical art
• Watering, lighting, and long-term care for your creations

Leave with two handcrafted botanical pieces, new skills, and a fresh perspective on displaying plants as living art. Whether hanging, mounted, or displayed on a favorite shelf, your creations will bring a little nature-inspired beauty into your space!
