Fresh Pressed Flowers Workshop with Jan Lochner

Experimenting and creating with pressed flowers is wonderful way to make thoughtful gifts for Valentine's Day and getting ready for Spring!

Step into the world of flower pressing with local gardener and Laguna Foundation volunteer, Jan Lochner, in this hands-on, make-and-take workshop. Jan will guide you through the simple yet beautiful art of pressing flowers, sharing her tips and techniques along the way. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a beginner, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to explore your creativity while learning a timeless craft.

You'll have the chance to create your own unique, nature-inspired items—ranging from bookmarks and cards to window ornaments and refrigerator magnets. All materials, including flowers, will be provided, so all you need to bring is an open mind and a smile! This workshop is suitable for participants ages 8 and up (minors must be accompanied by an adult).

Come join us for a fun, relaxing, and informative session, and leave with your very own pressed flower creations to enjoy at home. We can’t wait to share the joy of this easy and rewarding craft with you!

The Artist: Jan Lochner has been creating note cards from pressed flowers as a hobby for 25 years. She uses color, shape, and texture on fine quality paper, making each hand-made card unique. Her home in Sebastopol is her workshop with the dining room table seldom clear and kitchen cupboards filled with bags and boxes of flowers that she collects from her garden and other local sources.
