Hikaru Dorodango Workshop

“Touching the earth, touching plants, crafting by hand, the scent of nature and water and earth are things that always allowed me to leave myself and enter a fascinating world of green and magic.”
Tasneem Khashab, farmer and botanist artist

Join Tasneem for a special workshop to experience the ancient Japanese art of creating mud balls, known as Hikaru dorodango.
Hundreds of years ago, dorodango was a traditional children’s game in which mud was hand-rolled into a perfect ball before being naturally dried and buffed to a shine. This simple handcraft teaches us perseverance as we form a new type of connection with the earth around us.
