Flower Preservation & Artwork Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire. Oxfordshire, Wiltshire Border
Description
Discover the art of flower pressing and how to create beautiful artwork using preserved flowers with Emma from Nature's Inspiration in this fun full day workshop. Some of you may have attended one of Emma’s workshops here using her beautiful preserved botanicals in Resin. At our new workshop, you will learn how to preserve botanicals to retain their natural colour and create lovely artwork in a frame bringing nature indoors. Spend the morning creating artwork with foraged or homegrown pressed flowers by Emma at her home in Gloucestershire. Working within a hanging or freestanding frame (brass/gold) various shapes such as rectangles, hexagons or make two smaller square/rectangular shape pieces to take home and hang on your wall, pop in your craft area or perhaps gift. Time permitting you may also create a floral pressed card for yourself. During the afternoon select your botanicals that Emma has responsibly foraged from her garden or surrounding area, learning how to preserve them to their best natural self and explore how to use your press. These stunning flower presses are handmade here in the UK by a small company and are Maple veneered FSC board. Emma will provide you with spare paper and information on how to check on your press after the workshop, and learn how to switch out the paper during the drying process to get the best from your blooms. Emma has sourced the flower presses for durability and quality and they are yours to keep and reuse!

Crafting in the Cotswolds – what’s not to love? Lechlade Craft Barn offers craft workshops in the pretty Cotswolds market town of Lechlade on Thames. The Craft Barn is an attractive old stone barn at Karen's home and is the perfect setting to discover and develop your crafting skills. Owner Karen has a long-held passion for crafting, with backgrounds in retail and event management. Along with her workshops, she is joined by a talented team of guest tutors who offer a wide range of craft workshops. The barn is accessed via external stone steps with handrails on either side and unfortunately may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Some workshops are delivered nearby in the bright and spacious Memorial Hall complex and other local venues.
