Tera is a plant enthusiast who is excited to share her passion for terrarium art. She comes from a background in biological sciences and dance; it turns out that terrarium art is the perfect intersection of horticulture and spatial design. Tera realized the magic in terrariums and succulents after visiting a plant shop in New York. Soon after, her apartment was busting at the seams with terrariums containing a myriad of succulent varietals. Tera holds a M.S. in Biology and has been teaching high school science for ten years. You can find her work at Fortunate Discoveries Boutique in Lincoln Park and her Etsy Shop, Hens and Chicks Plants. Tera also teaches private parties for Bachelorette parties or any festivity! Be sure to ask for more info!
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.

Tera was amazing!! She gave great instructions, provided great materials and was super creative. I would without hesitation take another class from her. This class was so much fun! And I left with a nice terrarium.

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.
