Fall Plant & Sip: Succulent Arrangement Workshop | Blue Pizza at City Beer Hall, Albany NY
Pizza, a beer, and a succulent arrangement built in an etched ceramic vessel you'd swear came from a shop. Two hours, everything provided, and it goes home with you the same night.
What you'll build
A fall succulent arrangement in a hand-etched ceramic vessel. Not a plain glass jar. This one has a crackle glaze and botanical linework in plum and clay, and it looks finished the moment you set it down.
You choose your succulents and arrange them yourself: greens, blue-greens, deep burgundies. Then moss, driftwood, and fall accents on top. We walk you through the whole thing. No two leave the same.
Your seat includes
🏺 Your etched ceramic vessel, yours to keep
🌵 A full mix of succulents, hand-picked at the table
🪵 Driftwood accent
🪨 Soil, drainage, and preserved moss
🍂 Seasonal fall accents
🌿 Hands-on instruction from a Planter instructor
✨ Every tool you need, nothing to bring
📖 A care guide so it actually survives
Good to know
Blue Pizza and the City Beer Hall bar are both open, available for purchase. Five o'clock start means you can come straight from work, eat, build, and still have your evening. Come solo, come with your crew, come on a date. Beginners are the whole point, so if you've killed every plant you've ever owned, you're in the right room.
We only have a handful of these vessels. Once they're gone, they're gone. This exact piece isn't coming back.
Seating is limited and we cap every workshop so everyone gets real one-on-one time.
