Botanical Collage, Print & Draw

4 Day Workshop | Registration opens 2026-04-14 12:00 PM

This exciting workshop blends field observation with studio-based art making, guiding
participants through a rich journey of botanical collage, mono printing, and expressive drawing
techniques. Perfect for artists, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a restorative creative
experience. No prior experience is necessary—just curiosity and a sense of adventure.
Each day layers new skills, inviting you to slow down, observe deeply, and transform gathered
plant material into compelling artworks. Through demonstrations, guided exercises, and
personalized feedback, you’ll gain confidence in both experimental and traditional techniques.

You will receive an email 2 weeks prior to the workshop with instructions on how to press and
dry botanicals.
