Welcome spring with a fresh start. In this foundational workshop, you’ll learn the essentials of flower pressing—how to prep blooms, manage moisture, and press flowers correctly at home. Students will assemble a personal pressing starter pack and begin pressing their own flowers during class, leaving with everything needed to continue the process at home.

Students will:
• Understand which flowers press well (and which don’t)
• Learn moisture control + timing basics
• Practice proper layering and pressure
• Begin a personal pressing book
• Leave confident to press flowers independently
What Students Make
