Learn to press flowers and create your own pressed flower art

Hosted by Abby, this 1.5-hour workshop is designed to ignite your imagination and allow you to create stunning pieces of art using the beauty of pressed flowers.

Throughout the workshop, you will embark on a journey through different stages, each offering a unique opportunity to explore the art of pressing flowers. Abby will kick off the session by introducing you to her brand, sharing her inspiration and love for floristry. She will emphasise the importance of eco-consciousness, seasonality, and the magic of dried flowers.

A key aspect of the workshop is learning about responsible foraging. Abby will guide you on how to ethically pick flowers, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices. This segment will deepen your connection with nature and allow you to gather your own botanical treasures.

Next, you will dive into the art of pressing flowers. Abby will teach you the technical aspects involved in pressing different types of flowers, ensuring that you have the knowledge and skills to create beautiful and long-lasting pressed flower art. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this workshop will provide valuable insights and techniques.

At the end of the workshop, you will proudly take home your own framed dried flower art. Each piece will be a unique expression of your creativity and the enchanting beauty of pressed flowers. If you brought something special to press on the day, you can take it home to open in a week or so, revealing the transformation of the pressed flower.

The workshop revolves around the technique of pressing flowers, a gentle and artistic process that preserves their natural charm. No specialised machines or tools are required, allowing you to embrace the simplicity and accessibility of this art form.

Abby will invite you to indulge in a glass of sparkling prosecco or savour a delightful non-alcoholic alternative during the workshop.

What makes this workshop truly special is the opportunity to press your own flower, perhaps something with personal significance. It's a chance to encapsulate a cherished memory or symbol in a unique and timeless piece of pressed flower art.

By the end of the workshop, you will leave with a beautifully framed pressed flower, a tangible representation of your creativity and connection to nature. It will serve as a reminder of the workshop's enchanting experience.
