Workshops in December

I have a couple of workshops scheduled for December – a beeswax wrap workshop with Agy Textile Artist, and a Kokedama and plant stand workshop with XPC. December is all about making stuff!

Make Your Own Beeswax Wraps

Looking for a safe, natural and reusable alternative to plastic wrap and aluminium foil? In this fun, hands on workshop, learn how to make your own zero-waste beeswax food storage wraps for use at home! These perfect for encasing freshly cut fruit and vegetables, and sealing a variety of cooked food, and sauces in containers.

We are pleased to collaborate with The Green Collective for this session. During this 2-hour session, textile artist, Agatha “Agy” Lee, and self sufficiency advocate, Olivia Choong, will guide you step by step in preparing a delicately scented beeswax mixture for application on any natural fabric, and evenly setting the mixture to create a beautiful beeswax wrap, ready for you to take home for immediate use!

Once you learn how simple it is to make your own beeswax wraps, you will no longer wish to buy (and throw) plastic wrap and aluminium foil.

Each ticket is priced at $85 per participant, and includes all materials. Limited seats available, so book your spot today!

Skills you will learn:
Adequate preparation of beeswax mixture
Even application on cloth
Uniformly setting the mixture on cloth
How to choose and prepare cloth for beeswax application

Kokedama & Plant Stand Workshop



The Kokedama, where Koke means Moss, and dama means ball, is a mini spherical bonsai sculpture which uses moss to retain moisture instead of a pots. In this workshop, you will be able to craft your very own ornamental plant from our selection of plants. So build and assemble a wooden Pine frame to showcase your creation and this will make a wonderful personal gift or a great conversation piece for your home!
