A morning of slow looking, foraging and printmaking at Little Flower Farm.This September, as the year tips towards balance and the hedgerows go to seed, we gather in the spirit of Polyhymnia, muse of contemplation and sacred poetry. She is the muse who speaks in silence, the one associated with memory, symbolism, and the search for meaning through quiet attention.
Jemima Willis, floral artist, joins us to work with a traditional printing press, printing directly from flowers, seed heads and carefully foraged leaves. Every plant leaves its own mark: a vein, a shadow, a torn edge, the ghost of a stem. We're not arranging nature or drawing it; we're letting it speak its poetry through us.
We'll begin with a grounding meditation before stepping outside to gather, taking time to connect with the natural world and prepare ourselves to listen. Then we'll work both with and without the press, building a small series of unique prints, experimenting with texture, pressure and composition as we go.
As always, there'll be time to share, to sit with a hot or cold drink, and to be in the company of other women.
The morning includes
* Grounding meditation to open the session
* A guided gather from the farm and hedgerows
* All printmaking materials, inks and use of the press
* A series of finished prints to take home
* Artisan tea, coffee, and locally sourced treats.
* Time to talk, breathe and create.
What to bring
Wear something you don't mind getting ink on, and shoes that suit wet grass. If you have pressed flowers or leaves of your own that mean something to you, bring them; we'd love to print with them.
About the "Finding Your Creative Muse" Series: This is the fifth of eight workshops in 2026 and our third year of Women's Rites Workshops. While each session can be enjoyed on its own, they are designed as a year-long "odyssey" through the seasons.
