About this Event
Pressed Flower Art Workshop
with Susan McChesney
Saturday, May 9 | 10 – 1pm
Experience the art of Oshibana, the Japanese tradition of making art with pressed plant materials. Learn a technique of pressing, unpressing, storing, collaging and sealing flower petals to create a work of art. All materials and a comprehensive resource sheet provided. Make a collage that will be sealed, matted and sleeved in the workshop.
Susan McChesney is a pressed flower artist who uses pressed petals like strokes of paint in landscape collages. A longtime educator, the Oshibana technique she practices, creating art with pressed plant materials, is adaptable to a successful workshop experience. As a practicing artist, her work is shown at various venues in Western NC.
