  • 4/5 from Burgandy Roberts, attended Aug 2025: This was a really fun and educational class! I came with friends for a birthday celebration and left with a beautiful memento of our night and most likely a new hobby! I'm evaluating all my glass containers for terrarium potential now. ️
  • 5/5 from Diana Walker, attended Jul 2025: She was awesome!! Loved it! Doing another class with her in a few weeks so fun!!
  • 5/5 from Robert Bialas, attended Jan 2025: I did the terrarium class with my husband and kids, aged 8 and 10. We all had a fabulous time! Priscilla is a wealth of knowledge and shares what she knows with such passion and gusto. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to pick her brain. I have been making terrariums for close to a decade now and I learned so so much! This class is not just for beginners, although my husband and kids (who are true novices) enjoyed it as well. 5 stars. Couldn't recommend it enough if you have ever been curious about or enchanted by a terrarium!
  • 5/5 from Adrian Barron, attended Nov 2024: Fun and informative! The instructor started off with teaching about the history of terrariums and lead into each step by giving an understanding on why she does it how she does. She finished off by letting me create the terrarium and guided me if I needed help. Would definitely recommend to friends!
  • 5/5 from Kate Langston, attended Oct 2024: The class was incredibly fun and Ms Moss Potter takes her time really explaining the entire process and best practices.

  • 5/5 from Jacqueline Cotten, attended Jul 2024: Ms. Moss Potter’s terrarium class was amazing. She taught us a lot about the materials to use and why to use them. We learned a lot about how terrariums work and we got to make a beautiful terrarium! My only suggestion for the teacher would be to let future students know that they will be standing for the class so they can wear the appropriate foot wear.
  • 5/5 from Brian C Doncarlos, attended Jul 2024: Amazing date night! Very informative and we love our new terrariums! Can't wait to make a few on our own

Highly recommended for both team building and individual enjoyment!

  • 5/5 from Cynthia Sindt, attended Jun 2024: The class was very informative and the teacher was spot on with her explanations and ideas.

Ms. Moss Potter genuinely wants to share her knowledge about terrariums so she generously provides a list of materials and other details after the class too! This is a great date idea and then you’ll have a beautiful ecosystem that can sit right on top of your coffee table to liven up your space.

As a Fine Arts major in college, I always love to create in any medium.
Growing up with aquarium on and off all of my life took me to the world of paludarium (water and land tank). My obsession to moss and plants lead me to start playing and building terrariums and making anything with plants!
I started to sell my terrariums by words of mouth, which lead me to quit my corporate job and firmly land my feet back as a professional plant artist. I started to teaching terrarium class over foir years ago due to many requests from my customers.
Beside beginner terrarium class, I also teach kokedama, mounted plants and many more.
