Pounded flower art is created by hammering floral and botanical elements to transfer the natural dye from within to a natural surface such as cotton paper or linen while retaining the shape of the florals. Learn this unique art technique while indulging yourself in a little bit of ‘stress relieving’ fun as we experiment, discuss the best types of flowers to use, additional techniques to enhance your art, and more. Each guest will create a set of homemade cards perfect for preserving and honoring the beauty of our emerging flowers.

We’ll begin with a basic introduction on floral design, go over the already collected materials available, and then head outside to collect a few items together. We’ll end the class by creating our arrangements to take home, as well as discussing tips for foraging in your own yard and ways to prolong the life of your arrangements.
