A few weeks ago (right before the Arizona Blogger Meet-up) Scott and I attended a terrarium making class at a local art store/gallery, hosted by our Grow-Op buddies Josh and Kenny.
Made Art Boutique where the class was held (it was actually inside the Eye Lounge but they’re connected).
The class was pretty small, and Josh and Kenny did a great job of leading the group through the layers that were needed in a healthy terrarium.
Scott had fun sampling all the different dirt (just kidding!).
Scott and I had a lot of fun learning about the layers of a terrarium, and putting ours together. It was fun layering all the different kinds of dirt and rock, and trying to slip the little plant in the jar without breaking it. We also both really loved the jars we had to create them in. Pretty vintage jars with amazing original lids! Perfect!
We were both really excited when we finished our terrariums. After making these we have big plans to one day make moss based terrariums (I see another class on the horizon, Josh and Kenny!).
Since taking our terrariums home mine has somehow starting to grow a white fuzz (most likely mold) in the very bottom of it. I’m thinking about taking to Kenny and Josh at the Grow-Op to see if they can help make it better. I’m not ready for it to die just yet! I have a better green thumb than that!
Have you ever made a terrarium before? If not, are you interested in learning about them?
