  • 5/5 from Christopher Surace, attended Jun 2026: This was a great experience. Haylee is such a good teacher, gently guiding and encouraging us through the process and providing us with a lot of helpful tips that are invaluable. The process for making the kokedama was so calming and therapeutic and the ambience of the studio really lent to the whole experience. The drinks and nibbles were a welcome addition to the experience. Would definitely recommend, even for people who don't have a green thumb.
  • 5/5 from Christopher Surace, attended Jun 2026: We had a fun time making our first kokedamas. Great teacher. Would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Marina Leonard, attended Apr 2026: I attended a workshop today where I learned how to make a Kokedama moss ball, and it turned out to be such a wonderful experience. I honestly didn’t know what to expect going in, but from the moment it started, I was completely captivated. Renée, the teacher, was absolutely brilliant. She explained everything so clearly and made the whole process feel simple and approachable, even for someone like me with no prior experience. Her calm and encouraging style created a really relaxed atmosphere, which made it easy to just enjoy the process and get creative. There was something surprisingly satisfying about working with the materials and seeing the moss ball come together step by step. By the end, I felt not only proud of what I’d made but also genuinely inspired. Overall, the workshop exceeded my expectations. It was engaging, hands-on, and incredibly enjoyable—I’d highly recommend it to anyone curious about trying something new.
