1.5 hours Location Wood Green Class size 1 to 10 guests   £60 - £100 (£60 for Baloon H:22 D:17cm; £70 for Large Chimney H:25 D:19cm; £75 for Medium Baloon H:25 D:25cm; £80 for Large Baloon H:32 D:25cm; £100 for Large Conical with Bonsai H:32 D:29cm)

Slow down, get your hands in the soil and create your own little glass world at our terrarium workshop in North London.
Our workshops are led by terrarium makers with 6 years of experience, who also run their own terrarium business, so you'll be learning from people who build terrariums every day. In a small, friendly group, you'll design and plant your own closed terrarium, step by step, and take it home at the end.
What you'll learn:
  • How closed terrariums work as little self-sustaining ecosystems
  • How to layer your terrarium so it stays healthy
  • How to water correctly, without overwatering
  • How to spot and fix the most common problems
Choose your glass:
The ticket price is for our Balloon terrarium (H 22 cm, D 17 cm, 2 plants). At checkout you can upgrade to Medium Balloon, Large Chimney, Large Balloon or our Large Conical with a Ficus Bonsai. Check the photos to see each glass and its size.
Make it a shared experience:
Choose the Plus One option at checkout and two of you can create one terrarium together. It's a lovely idea for:
  • A date that's a bit different
  • A creative afternoon with friends
  • A parent and child activity
  • A birthday treat or a gift experience
Extras on the day:
Want to make your design extra special? LED cork lids, figurines, dragon stone and cork bark are available at the workshop and can be paid for on the spot.
Private and group bookings:
Planning a hen party, birthday or team event? We also run private workshops for groups. Get in touch and we'll find a date that suits you.

  • The workshop lasts 1.5 to 2 hours
  • Studio in N22 6AG, close to Turnpike Lane station (Piccadilly line)
  • Free parking is available outside

Recent reviews of Terrarium Making Workshop in London

  • 5/5 from Ciara Cosgrave, attended Oct 2026: Isaac was extremely passionate and super helpful throughout the whole process. Took us on a step by step on how to make your perfect terrarium and then we got to take it home at the end.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Murphy, attended Aug 2026: Really great class for both adults and kids my 10 year old loved it so much and I had to get involved and wanted to make my own! Isaac brings a group together with a lovely fun calm vibe and he is so knowledgeable on so many topics!
  • 5/5 from Miss Hayley Padfield, attended May 2026: Very informative, very attentive, very knowledgeable, we attended as friends and both made a terrarium (the cheapest one) we had intended to upgrade but this wasn't an option, on the day, that said the size was perfect. We had plenty of plants and enjoyed doing some swaps with our class mates. I would highly recommend this as a gift experience.
  • 5/5 from Kathryn Arblaster, attended Jan 2026: Superb workshop! Interesting talk about history of terrariums and superb instructions on making one. Then plenty of time to make our own and a great selection of plants and materials. It was really fun and I now feel confident making my own at home.
  • 5/5 from Amber Brooks, attended Jan 2026: The teacher was very helpful and enthusiastic. The class was easy to follow with demonstrations and all materials provided. The atmosphere was good and it was a fun experience for me and a friend.
