Terrarium Making Class – Relax, Plant & Create

A beginner-friendly workshop in north London in which participants build their own sealed glass terrarium with plants, moss and soil, taking one home at the end of the session.

This is a hands-on making class in which you assemble a small living garden inside a glass vessel. Guided step by step by the studio's terrarium team, you choose a glass shape and then arrange plants, moss, soil and stones inside it. The materials and tools are provided, so there is nothing to bring, and the finished terrarium is yours to take home along with a care card explaining how to look after it.

No previous experience is needed, which makes the session suitable for complete beginners as well as people who simply enjoy working with plants. Several glass sizes are offered, from a compact balloon-shaped jar to a larger conical one that includes a bonsai ficus. Optional decorative extras, such as LED cork lids, figurines, dragon stone and cork bark, can be bought at the studio on the day.

The workshop takes place at Tropical Glass in Studio 8 at Crawley Studios, near Turnpike Lane in London N22. The studio is reached by stairs and has no step-free access, which is worth knowing before booking. Private sessions can also be arranged for groups such as team outings or celebrations.
