From Bloom to Canvas: The Flowered Press Workshop

The Flowered Press Workshop with Marguerite Alpert
Thursday, February 26
10:00am–12:00pm

Discover the art of pressing flowers and transforming them into beautiful, one-of-a-kind works of art. In this special two-part workshop led by artist Marguerite Alpert, participants will learn both traditional and contemporary techniques for preserving botanicals and using them creatively.

During the first hour, Marguerite will demonstrate how to use a wooden flower press and explore several methods for pressing flowers and leaves to achieve different colors, textures, and effects.

In the second hour, you’ll create your own original artwork using pressed plant materials that Marguerite has grown and foraged. She will share techniques for arranging, layering, and gluing delicate botanical elements to help you create a meaningful and personal piece.

This intimate workshop is limited to 15 participants to allow for hands-on instruction and guidance.

Please register by February 9.
