Succulent Snow Globe Workshop | The Loft @ 205, Albany NY
A footed glass globe, a drift of white pebble snow, two succulents, and a tiny figure standing in the middle of it. Everything is provided and your winter scene comes home with you that night.
What you'll build
A snow globe you don't have to shake.
Your globe sits on a glass pedestal, about the size of a real snow globe, and the stem is what makes it. Set it on a shelf and it looks like something that came in a box. Inside, you'll build a little winter scene: fine white pebbles drifting like snow, two live succulents, moss, and a figurine of your choosing standing in the middle of it.
It's open at the top, so the plants actually live, and you can reach in and rearrange the snow whenever you want. Some people build a quiet little drift. Some build a whole village. Both are correct.
Your seat includes
❄️ Your footed glass globe
🌵 Succulents

✋ Hands-on instruction from a Planter instructor

Good to know
This one comes back out every December. The globe is glass, the succulents keep going year round, and the snow swaps for moss or stone if you want it on your shelf in July.
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, so if you've killed every plant you've ever owned, you're in the right room.
Seating is limited and we cap every workshop so everyone gets real one-on-one time.
📍 205 Lark St 2nd floor, Albany NY.
