MAKING ART WITH NATURE
Textured and therapeutic, the Moss WALL Art experience provides you the opportunity to connect with mother nature while bringing out your inner artist.
Our Living Moss Art experience is a unique journey that combines the tranquility of Shinrin-Yoku, or forest bathing, with the creative expression of preserved moss art. As we immerse ourselves in the serene beauty of nature, we draw inspiration from the vibrant greens and delicate textures of the forest. This meditative process not only reconnects us with the natural world but also allows us to channel that serenity into our art. By carefully arranging preserved moss, we create living pieces that reflect the harmony and peace found in the woods, bringing a touch of the forest's magic into our everyday lives.
Who is this experience for?
Everyone looking to relax. We lead the group through a mindful “forest bathing meditation.” We listen to the sounds of the forest. This experience is grounded and calming, helping participants destress with an art form that engages all of our senses. It’s tactile, abstract and fun for all. It’s an experience where everyone will feel “successful,” as there’s no judgment with moss
What do we make?
This class will dive into the art of making a beautiful moss art piece. Inspired by the natural beauty of our California redwood forests, we will mainly be working with three types of preserved moss and foliage to bring a piece of mossy heaven to your home. We will make a dimensional 3D shadow box and are now offering kits in 3 sizes. The extra large kits now include hand foraged moss/lichen from a local estate in Napa Valley. We incorporate a variety of preserved and faux plant materials , such as mosses, ferns and lichens, reclaimed wood as well as additional botanical elements. Everything in our one of a kind kits is preserved and everlasting: effortless to care for and maintain.
“WHAT IS FOREST BATHING?
Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, is a Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest. This practice is not just about walking through the woods, but about fully engaging the senses to experience nature’s calming effects. Research has shown that spending time in nature can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall well-being. The tranquility of the forest environment fosters mindfulness, allowing individuals to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with their inner selves. By engaging in forest bathing, people can experience a profound sense of peace and rejuvenation, highlighting the vital importance of nature in maintaining mental and physical health.”

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Do I need to prep anything for the workshop?
We will do everything together during the day of our experience. We include a plastic table cover in the kit. You can prep a table area the size of the table cover or a bit smaller. We recommend setting up by an electric outlet as we need to plug in the glue gun during the workshop.
How do these ship?
Our kits ship via UPS ground. You should receive an email with tracking number and a second email with delivery confirmation. Please be aware of the delivery day. If you do not receive your kit and it says delivered, please let your organizer know so they can reach out to us.
What happens when I get my kit? Do I need to refrigerate the contents or open anything?
The kits do not need to be refrigerated. Please store indoors in a dry place until the start of the workshop.
Is Maintenance Required? Do I need to water?
What we have is the maintenance-free preserved moss which is made with real, fresh moss. Preserved moss will keep green for many years without any maintenance or water use at all. Real moss and ferns, harvested from forest, are preserved using non-toxic food-grade ingredients. Since it is preserved, the moss does not wilt and does not require water. The result is an ever-green artwork - a "plant painting" - that looks stunning and requires no maintenance whatsoever.
