Discover the Art of Flower Pressing with Julie from Palms & Violets Florist

Unleash your creativity in this hands-on, 2-hour workshop led by Julie, a talented pressed flower artist from Palms and Violets Florist. Dive into the enchanting world of flower pressing and learn how to preserve blooms without losing their vibrant colours.

The workshop begins with an introduction to the traditional flower pressing technique using fresh, locally grown flowers. You’ll get to press your own flowers using a classic flower press — which you’ll keep to continue your crafting at home.
