Join our bespoke terrarium workshops in the heart of Cork and discover the art of building self-sustaining ecosystems. No experience needed — just curiosity and a love of green things.
Moss & Glass was born from a simple idea: that everyone deserves a piece of nature in their life. Founded in 2021 by botanist Siobhán O'Callaghan, our studio on Patrick Street has become Cork's home for terrarium lovers, plant enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a mindful, creative escape.
Every workshop is an immersive experience. We guide you through selecting plants, layering substrates, and understanding the science behind these self-sustaining glass ecosystems. You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind creation and the knowledge to care for it for years to come.
Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your craft, we have a workshop tailored to your skill level and style preferences.
Beginner
Learn the fundamentals of building a self-sustaining ecosystem inside a glass vessel. Perfect for first-timers with zero experience — you'll be amazed at what you create.

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our community of terrarium makers has to say.
Such a calming and creative experience. Siobhán is an incredible teacher — patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. My terrarium is still thriving six months later.
Booked the private group session for my partner's birthday and it was the highlight of the weekend. The studio is gorgeous and the whole process felt really special. Cannot recommend enough.
I did the team-building workshop with my company — 15 of us — and it was so much better than the usual activities. Everyone absolutely loved it. We now have terrariums all over the office.
Every workshop includes your vessel, all plants, materials, a care guide, and a hot drink. No hidden costs — just pure creativity.
