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, set within the beautiful and historic Heirloom Market in the heart of Old Wethersfield, Connecticut.
 
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 curated 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.
 
Fee: $140
Includes a wooden flower press, fresh flowers, pressed botanical materials, art paper, and all supplies.
 
Optional: Bring a favorite fresh flower you’d like to press. And, consider registering with a friend to share the experience!
