Event Overview

Did you ever feel lonely and realize you need a plant-filled miniature world in your life? If you did, creating your very own succulent terrarium is definitely for you.

Create your own live terrarium while being inspired at the Intuit Art Gallery in Wicker Park.

From succulents to moss, miniature embellishments and figurines, you can construct an artistically sweet garden of goodness in a beautiful glass vessel.

Class will include enjoyment of installations at Intuit Art Gallery, an introduction and educational tid-bits covering the "how to's" for making a healthy terrarium; decision making techniques on what types of plants to use; and the "what next" to keep your terrarium living a long and prosperous life!

Even if you lack a green thumb, there are lots of easy to care for plant and preserved options you can use in your creative endeavor. Class will include choice of glass vessel, choice of succulent plants, miniature accoutrements and embellishments that allow your creative juices to shine, and all other components your terrarium needs to be a sustainable healthy little ecosystem.

Come create a terrarium at Intuit Art Gallery, and not only will you leave with the ability to create living art work, but you'll make new plant friends that undoubtedly brighten up any space they inhabit! Join in for some fun-filled DIY terrarium craft!

    I had such a great time at this class. Tera does an excellent job walking you through the process by putting together a sample first. She provides nice succulents and accessories to personalize your terrarium. I am hoping she will offer more classes later in the year. A class before the holidays where you could make a few smaller terrariums as gifts would be great. I highly recommend this class.

    This was a lovely class, and locating it at the Intuit Center was an inspired and inspiring choice. Very glad I took this class.

    This was my first Dabble class, and it proved to be a really enjoyable experience. Signing up, payment, and contact with the instructor was all very easy through the Dabble website. The class was taught by a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor, Tera, who immediately put the class at ease and set a tone to have fun while being creative. She was easy to follow, no matter what experience you had coming into the group, and had a huge plethora of supplies to inspire creativity. The class structure included an initial step by step instruction about the terrarium making process, notes on feeding/watering/care, socialization once we were set free to create, and concluded with a guided tour of the Intuit Gallery where the class was being held (included in the class price). The class had access to all the same materials, but each terrarium was unique and beautiful. The best news is that a week later, mine is still alive! It was a really great time at a very inspiring venue in Chicago.

    Tera was great - she provided clear instructions and was available to help all throughout the session. She brought a ton of options when it came to the plants, rocks, fillers, decoration, etc. - I loved the variety!

    Really fun class. Tera did an excellent job of explaining how things work and demonstrates the basic steps of putting together a terrarium, and then gives lots of options to allow students to experiment and create their own. So much fun. I highly recommend this class.

    Tara was really positive and accessible during the whole class. She did a demo and explained the process, then came around encouraging and helping during the class. The materials were great and well-organized and we had plenty to choose from and plenty to go around.
