Upcoming Science ATL Events
Arts & Nature Workshop: Moss Terrariums
2023-06-25T16:00:00.000Z
Create and care for your own ecosystem! Local artist, Travis Ronis of Overall Designs, teaches us how he blends art and nature through building moss terrariums. Add all the elements of a thriving ecosystem, and even choose a 3-D printed figure to call your terrarium home. Join us at the Halfway Crooks Biergarten for this workshop. The Biergarten will be open for full service during the event, come hungry and thirsty!
Tickets are sold per moss terrarium. Each individual does not need to purchase a "ticket." We encourage couples, friends, and families to work collaboratively to build their terrariums.
