Types of Workshops

I currently teach two workshops focused on flower pressing! If there isn't a listing on this page it means I don't have any upcoming events. But you can always join my email list (at the bottom of this page) to get first dibs when a new event is announced!

If you're interested in a private event (great for birthday celebrations, bridal showers, book clubs, and team bonding!) just reach out to me at littleleafink@gmail.com!

Option 1: How to press/preserve plants
This is a beginner workshop open to those that have tried flower pressing in the past or are new to the craft. A great craft for nature lovers or those wanting to create botanical keepsakes. Each workshop attendee will receive a handmade reusable flower press that can be used for years to come! We’ll cover how to use a flower press, what plants press best, where to find plants and fun ideas for how to use the plants you preserve.

Option 2: Crafting with Pressed Flowers
This workshop is focused on crafting with preserved plants! I share preserved pressed plant material from my personal collection and my tips and techniques for crafting with pressed flowers. Make a card to send a loved one, a new piece of wall art for your home, a fun bookmark or whatever else you can think of. I bring a variety of materials to work with and expert help on how to make your creations last. If you are a previous workshop attendee or have your own collection of pressed plants, feel free to bring them too!
