The Experience

keyboard_arrow_up

You love your juicy succulents and big leafy monstera, but you’re craving a new gardening challenge—or you just want to green-up your home with something that’s not the average potted plant. Sounds like you’re up for kokedama. The word is Japanese for moss ball, and while these self-contained live sculptures may look like they require the skills of a master gardener, instructor Savannah Barkley will teach you the simple steps to making a kokedama in this live virtual class.

  • Savannah will start the class with background on the art of kokedama as she explains the materials you'll be using.
  • Next, she’ll walk you through the process of turning moss, soil, and twine into your very first kokedama: a petite hanging umbrella plant.
  • Finally, you’ll learn how to display and care for your creation and Savannah will answer any questions you have; your work of living art will be completed by the end of class.
  • Almost any small plant can grow in a kokedama, so this experience is a wonderful gift to someone who’ll be excited to learn a new style of gardening and discover a relaxing, creative pastime.
Class length: 60 minutes
Comes with the class: Created by Savannah, our Hanging Kokedama Ball Kit includes soil, twine, sheet moss, and an umbrella plant. Because the kit contains a live plant, we’ll ship it to arrive one week before your scheduled class date. We recommend opening the kit when you receive it and letting the plant get some sunlight before class.

Experiences make great gifts! To gift this class, simply purchase the class for the date/time you think will work for your recipient. If that doesn’t work for the recipient, no worries! Send an email that includes your order confirmation number to help@uncommongoods.com at least 48-hours prior and we’ll help get them moved into a scheduled class that works better for them. Please note: By default, order confirmations and event details are sent to the purchaser’s email.

About

New Jersey native Savannah Barkley moved to Rhode Island to attend the Rhode Island School of Design and never left. "I work heavily with live plant materials, pressed flowers, and vintage findings," she says. "I love that these materials are nuanced and always one of a kind. It keeps my process interesting to me." She has also found major inspiration in her bunny companion Sir Milky Quartz. "He has truly been the jumping-off for building the aesthetic around my brand"—pun almost certainly intended.

For this class you'll need the DIY Hanging Kokedama Ball Kit that comes with the class, clear a space where you can work (and get messy!), a medium-large bowl, a container or watering can of water, a pair of scissors, and paper towels or a sponge for cleanup.
