Workshops
Aquascaping Workshop
The Aquascaping Workshop is a wonderful opportunity to learn in a one-on-one manner with an experienced aquascaping mentor. Participants will have access to an array of hardscape materials (substrate, stone, wood), plants, and a full setup (aquarium, light, and filter) to complete a layout during the workshop. At the end of the weekend each participant will get to take home their creation!
In the interest of maintaining this event as a learning workshop, we give sign-up preference to those people who have never participated before. If you have participated before, and want to do so again, we will put you on a wait list. Please indicate that you would like to be on the waitlist in the notes at checkout.
Unless special arrangement is made in advance, all nano aquascapes must be left on display until the end of the day Saturday. AGA volunteers will be available to assist in draining water and preparing aquariums for transport, but participants are responsible for preparing and removing their aquariums. The aquascapes created in the workshop are part of the convention atmosphere and are a highlight attraction for attendees. If you are unable to leave your creation on display through the convention, we will be happy to refund your money and give another participant the opportunity. Thank you.
Wabi Kusa Workshop
Learn how to create, plant, and maintain a Wabi Kusa while making your own in this guided workshop. Wabi Kusa are a fun and easy way to expand your love of aquatic plants into another medium. If you have always wanted to try your hand at this style of Nature Aquarium, this fun workshop is for you!
All materials and plants are provided, including a vessel and light for you to keep your creation thriving when you go home.
