Preserving the poetry of flowers through pressing, crafting & arranging
There’s something timeless about the old-fashioned art of flower pressing — the way it captures a fleeting bloom and preserves its beauty as a keepsake. In this workshop, we’ll revisit this nostalgic craft, learning how to press flowers with care so their color and form remain intact.
Once your pressed flowers are ready, you’ll use them to decorate a vase, turning it into a treasured piece infused with the charm of the garden. To complete the experience, we’ll also create a simple arrangement of fresh garden flowers to fill your vase, blending the joy of gathering blooms with the sentiment of preserving them.
With gentle, step-by-step instruction by Melody Trivisone of The Art of Playing with Flowers and Meredith Bishop of Bloom & Bounty, you’ll leave with both a finished keepsake and a skill you can return to season after season — a way of carrying nature’s poetry into your home and holding on to the memory of flowers long after they’ve faded.
