Several varieties of Sarracenia Pitcher Plants can be observed in the Highlands Biological Station Botanical Garden. This workshop will feature Sarracenia as a hands-on introduction to making paper botanicals. In the process of making a pot with 3 Sarracenias, participants will learn interesting botanical facts about this plant and how its structure can be rendered in paper. All materials and tools will be provided. No previous experience working with paper is necessary.
Cynthia Woodsong makes paper replicas of flowers and plants native to North Carolina. After learning the basic concepts and techniques of making paper flowers, she began focusing on specimens that are not easily seen or have a very short bloom time. She also makes flowers that are not suited to being cut and brought indoors. Whenever feasible, the paper botanicals are rendered at scale as blooming plants in clay pots, while others (e.g., magnolias, lilies) are reproduced as flowering stems to be put in a vase. Cynthia works with different types of paper, manipulating the surface colors and structure to achieve botanical accuracy as much as possible. Her work, which can be seen in the NC Botanical Garden’s Garden Shop, includes plants found in North Carolina’s sandhills, high mountains and home gardens throughout the state.
