Discover the beauty of nature captured in art with our Flower Casting workshop – also known as botanical bas-relief.
In this relaxing, creative session, you’ll learn how to press flowers and foliage into clay to capture their delicate details, before casting your design in plaster to create a lasting, textured artwork.
The finished piece can be left natural or painted to enhance the patterns and forms — turning the fleeting beauty of plants into a beautiful, permanent relief tile ready for framing.
What You’ll Do
Under friendly, expert guidance, you will:
Collect a selection of plants, leaves, or natural forms from our garden (or bring your own – see below)
Prepare and work with clay to create your tile
Press your chosen flowers and plants into the clay surface
Watch a demonstration on painting and finishing techniques
Cast your tile impressions using plaster of Paris
By the end of the session, you’ll have created your own unique botanical artwork to take home and display.
What’s Included
All materials and the use of tools
Refreshments throughout the session
Your finished plaster cast to take home
What to Bring
You’re welcome to bring your own plants or flowers – if collecting from your garden or a walk, please ensure they are freshly picked and not wilted.
Some fresh flowers will also be provided in the studio.
