The act of pressing flowers brings together creativity, scientific study, and mindfulness.
By learning the process of collecting, drying, and artfully arranging plant materials, we can foster a well-rounded appreciation for the beauty and intricacies of the plant world while deepening our connection to local nature. Pressed flowers also make for special gifts; across cultures, people have arranged "bouquets" to commemorate occasions like weddings, graduations, funerals, and birthdays, using flowers to express gratitude for loved ones.
So, from creative explorations to thoughtful gestures, join us for this two-part class to learn how to collect and preserve plant materials and craft one-of-a-kind, sustainable art!
💐 Sunday, September 14, 1-3pm 💐
Our first session will focus on the tools and techniques for proper harvest and drying. You will receive your own 9-1/2" x 11-1/4" flower press to keep after the class, which will be used to preserve specimens collected from the wild and cultivated fields of the Horn Farm Center.
💐 Sunday, October 26, 1-3pm 💐
In our second session, we will collage our preserved specimens from the first session into botanical art on paper, covering additional tools and techniques, media, and design considerations for making beautiful, lasting flower arrangements to share with family and friends.
