🌀🌿Shape serenity with your own handcrafted Zen garden. 🌿🌀

Find your inner calm while crafting your own miniature Zen garden in this hands-on clay workshop. Over two sessions, you’ll design and sculpt a personalized zen garden tray, hand-build decorative elements like stones, plants, texture stamps, and carve soothing patterns to enhance relaxation. We'll use sprig molds to create items for your zen garden. Perfect for all skill levels, this class offers a mindful, creative escape while learning the art of clay.
