Air Plant Ornament Workshop | Makers Craft Brewery, Norfolk VA
Three glass globes, four air plants, and a table full of moss and ribbon. Two hang on a tree or go in a gift bag, one stays with you. Everything is provided and it all comes home that night.
What you'll build
Knock two gifts off your list on a Wednesday night and keep the third for yourself.
You'll build three pieces: two 3" hanging glass globes, small enough for a tree branch or a gift bag, and one 5" globe that stays with you. Four air plants in total, plus moss, sand, stone, and ribbon. You choose the plants, the palette, and how each one comes together.
Air plants need no soil, which is why these work as ornaments and why they're the easiest thing in the world to give to someone who kills plants.
Your seat includes
🫙 Two 3" hanging glass globes
🫙 One 5" glass globe
🌱 Four live air plants, picked at the table
🪨 Moss, sand, and decorative stone
🎀 Ribbon for hanging
✋ Hands-on instruction from a Planter instructor
✨ Every tool you need, nothing to bring
📖 A care guide, though there's honestly not much to it
Good to know
Air plants live on light and a soak every week or two. No soil, no pot, no drainage. If you've killed every plant you've ever owned, this is the one that forgives you, and it's the reason these make good gifts for people who say they can't keep anything alive.
Makers Craft is a Norfolk brewery with the taproom open all night, available for purchase.
Families are welcome. Minors must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Come solo, come with your crew, come on a date. Beginners are the whole point.
Seating is limited and we cap every workshop so everyone gets real one-on-one time.
