Are you looking to have a class for your next girls' night, bachelorette party, or birthday party? Contact us to discuss what we can do for you!
All classes will include materials and tools to use, instruction, and you will leave with a finished project of your own! This is a BYOB event unless otherwise noted. These classes rotate around different locations in Southern Maine so make sure to double-check the location and address before you commit to a class.
* These classes are nonrefundable and if something arises and you are unable to make it, with a minimum of 48 hours advanced notice, we will provide a take-home DIY craft kit so that you finish the product in your own time. You will be responsible for the shipping charges if arrangements cannot be made to pick up the DIY kit in person.
Moss Wall Art Workshop
Bring the beauty of the Maine outdoors into your home with our DIY Moss Wall Art Sign Workshops.This immersive craft workshop includes everything you need to design a stunning, nature-inspired moss art piece—no experience required.
Each kit features a fully assembled, hand stained frame, ready for creativity right out of the box. Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully curated mix of natural and preserved moss, cork oak bark, pinecones, faux succulents, and additional botanical elements—making every finished piece truly unique. No two kits (or finished signs) are ever the same. We can teach this to your group or direct you to our DIY Craft Kits if you would like to host your own event!
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing DIY project, a unique handmade gift, or a creative workshop experience at home, this Maine-made moss wall art kit delivers natural texture, earthy charm, and meaningful craftsmanship in every box.
