Terra-Ya | Artisan Japanese Terrariums & Workshops

'Contemplate & rejuvenate.'
I'm Yoshi, the lead artisan at Terra-ya on the NSW Central Coast, the beautiful traditional lands of the Darkinjung people. In my past life I have been an interior architect & designer and disability carer. Now, I spend my days making landscaped, self-watering glass gardens in the Japanese aesthetic.
Japanese-style terrariums create a contemplative Zen space through stones, pebbles, moss and wood for harmony and serenity.
Creating terrariums with friends and family is a beautiful way to bond, have calm, and experience nature therapy.
Everyone can walk away from our workshops with a handcrafted terrarium and a beautiful memory together.
