Forest in Your Hands is a hands-on workshop where nature becomes close and tangible.
Working with moss is a calm, almost meditative process that results in more than just an art piece — it becomes a personal memory of forest walks, travel moments, quietness, and a sense of home.
Step by step, you will create a living composition by combining natural materials, textures, and your own feelings.
This workshop is about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and creating something that will hold the atmosphere of the moment long after it ends.
Students will have a choose of creating a one-of a kind projects. See samples from the image gallery for ideas.
Cost: $60/includes enough moss material to create project
