About this Event
FLEURISH: THE ART OF OSHIBANA
A Pressed Flower Art Workshop
Discover the beauty of preserving nature through art.
Join Botanic Flora Apothecary at Marshmallow Moon for an afternoon of botanical creativity as we explore Oshibana, the traditional Japanese art of arranging pressed flowers and foliage into beautiful, lasting works of art.
In this two-hour, hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to thoughtfully compose delicate flowers and leaves, playing with color, shape, texture, and design to create two one-of-a-kind botanical artworks.
With guided instruction and all materials provided, you'll enjoy a relaxing, creative experience that invites you to slow down, explore your artistic side, and find inspiration in nature's smallest details.
What You'll Create
🌿 A 5" × 7" Glass Hanging Frame — Design a botanical composition displayed between glass, ready to hang and enjoy.
🌿 A 4" × 6" Pressed Flower Artwork — Create a second floral composition on beautiful, textured handmade paper, ready to take home and frame.
Your Experience Includes
- A curated selection of pressed flowers and foliage
- All tools, materials, and art supplies
- Step-by-step guidance and creative inspiration
- Two unique botanical artworks to take home
