Step away from the rush and join pressed botanical artist Marguerite Alpert of The Flowered Press for a hands-on, two-hour workshop exploring the timeless craft of flower pressing and botanical art. Immerse yourself in the pastoral beauty of Churchtown Dairy's 250-acre working farm, nestled in the rolling countryside of Hudson, New York. 
You’ll learn essential pressing techniques using a wooden flower press—yours to keep—along with Marguerite's guidance on selecting, preparing, and preserving fresh flowers. Using a carefully chosen selection of dried flowers from Marguerite's gardens and foraging trips, you’ll learn about composition and mounting techniques to design a finished piece to take home.
