Event Details

Experience 4.5 hrs of calm & creation crafting your Zen Garden at Alumia Studio. Up to 3 creators per ticket.

Step into stillness and creation with our most luxurious workshop experience. Over 4.5 inspiring hours, you’ll design and craft your own sacred Zen Garden — a one-of-a-kind piece of art that brings balance, beauty, and calm into your space.

You’ll begin with a solid wooden base, the foundation for your garden. Using copper wire, you’ll twist and shape an ornamental tree, decorating it with many colorful crystals. With guidance, you’ll learn to work with epoxy and specialized pliers, exploring unique techniques to perfect your design.

Each participant receives a complete set of materials, including:

  • A solid wooden base for your garden
  • Copper wire to create your tree of life
  • Small and medium crystals to embed into your design (large, heavy crystals available for extra purchase)
  • A set of bamboo rakes for shaping your sand
  • Colored sand options to personalize your garden
  • A selection of decorative accents to complete your sacred space

More than just a craft, a Zen Garden is a spiritual tool. For centuries, Zen monks and artisans created them to reflect the harmony of nature, inviting meditation and mindfulness. By investing your time and energy into building your own, you’ll carry home not just a piece of art, but a sanctuary — a reminder to pause, breathe, and realign with peace.

💎 Workshop Cost: $240 per Zen garden.⏰ Duration: 4.5 hours* A Zen Garden can also be created together. Up to three people may collaborate on one garden, with just a single ticket required. ($240 per Zen Garden, not per person).

Join us at Alumia Design Studio, where creativity meets spirit, and leave with a beautiful Zen Garden that is uniquely yours. 🌙✨

Location: Alumia Design Studio — the purple shop inside the New Weave building at Savage Mill. We’re right next to Bearing Gifts, across from Candles by Candy, and on the same floor as the Savage Fencing Club. You can park in either of the two main Savage Mill parking lots — both are just a short walk away.
