Plant Pressing and Oshibana

---

Join Marion Sidebottom, a nature-based photographer and artist, who uses pressed plants in much of her work. Oshibana is the art of using pressed flowers and other botanical materials to create artwork. In this workshop, you will be taught how to collect and prepare plants for pressing, learn multiple pressing methods, make and use a strap plant press and discover how to create exquisite compositions using botanical materials, finally creating an Oshibana picture of your own.

Take home your press to embark on further projects; decorate cards for family and friends, create beautiful Oshibana art and photography, or make a collection of herbarium sheets recording the plants growing in your garden.
