Queer Social Footscray: Cute Closed Terrariums with Winter

This event will be half social chats with a bunch of like minded queer people and half fun, educational and interactive workshop.

All workshops are taught by queers, for queers.

Closed terrariums are miniature, self-sufficient indoor gardens. They're cute, fun to make, simple to care for, and easy to recreate again at home. 

If you manage to kill even the most un-killable of cacti but still yearn for some greenery at your office or home, then working with terrariums might be your best bet.

A terrarium is hassle-free and if you do it right you never have to water it or remove the lid! And, once you've learned how to build your first terrarium, you can make them again yourself as gifts for your friends' - housewarmings, birthdays, Thank-yous...even cuter with a personalised trinket.

All materials are provided and you'll get to take home your beautiful creation at the end of the workshop!

What will we cover?

This is a fun, hands on class were you’ll go home with your little patch of green bliss. 

Within the workshop you will learn how:

• Terrariums actually work
• To construct them using layering techniques
• To decorate and “landscape” your creation
• To continue to care for yours at home

All materials will be supplied, but feel free to bring in some little figurines or trinket to personalise your terrarium!
