Botanical Pressing Workshop with Stephanie King

Join Cape Cod artist, educator and naturalist Stephanie King for an introductory level workshop into the world of designing collages with pressed and preserved seaweed and botanicals. Your nature art journey starts here. Stephanie will guide you through the fundamentals of ethical foraging of wild plants and marine algae. Seaweed and garden flowers are renewable resources that can be harvested responsibly. Together, we will experiment with locally sourced natural materials to create your own collages that can be used as journal entries, gift cards or simply framed. Collecting seaweed that has washed ashore is a lovely way to enjoy nature and create art with very little environmental impact. This art form is a wonderful way to preserve your garden and seaside memories alike.

The first portion of the workshop will involve an introduction and a demonstration. The second portion will involve getting your hands wet with real drift seaweed. The third portion will include using pressed and preserved botanicals and seaweed from Stephanie's collection to create your own nature art collage.

The cost of the workshop is $40. Includes all materials and instruction. Limited capacity: Attendance is capped at 12 participants.
