About this Event
Discover the World of Nature Printing
Learn about a rare printing method which bedazzled the Victorians with the strangely lifelike and intricate images it produced.
Nature printing is a wonderful way of representing plants, by using organic specimens to leave a direct impression on paper.
Take a tour of the stunning collection of nature printed books at the RHS Lindley Library, looking at an array of techniques and plants experimented with.
Then, try your hand at nature printing, as artist and designer Pia Östlund teaches us how to nature print using oil-based inks and fresh plants on specialist papers.
All materials are provided. Suitable for beginners and enthusiasts.
Tickets are required for the event with the ticket cost supporting the RHS Lindley Library.
