Program Overview

A screen-light morning making terracotta and a living terrarium to slow down through hands-on creativity.

Spend a morning working with clay and living plants, away from the usual pace of screens and schedules.

The experience begins with terracotta. You learn to prepare the clay, shape a small piece using beginner-friendly hand-building techniques, and add simple textures or finishing touches. After a short pause, the focus moves to plants as you create your own miniature terrarium using layered materials, greenery and decorative elements.

Throughout the morning, the emphasis stays on making rather than perfection. With guidance at each stage and phones set aside during the main activities, you have time to notice the material in your hands and enjoy the process.

You finish with two creations and simple guidance for caring for your terrarium at home.

This is a hands-on wellbeing experience designed to support creative calm.
