Preserving Nature: A Three-Part Workshop Series

This fall at Seven Bends Nursery, join artist Michael LaMattina for a three-part series celebrating Virginia’s native plants through the art of pressing and creative craft. We’ll begin by learning the basics of plant pressing and making our own DIY mini flower presses. From there, each workshop will guide you into a new project: first, a festive pennant banner that brings autumn indoors, and finally, a mixed-media collage that blends pressed flowers with paper <a href="http://art.

Whether you attend one session or all three, you’ll leave with lasting keepsakes and new ways to connect with the beauty of the seasons. These workshops are for beginners and hobbyists, but certainly any experience level is welcome! Age 18+.
Bring the warmth of fall indoors with a festive craft project using pressed botanicals. In this workshop, we’ll take preserved leaves and flowers and transform them into a seasonal pennant banner—a simple, decorative piece perfect for hanging at home. You’ll learn creative techniques for arranging pressed plants, discover how to combine textures and colors, and leave with a handmade keepsake that celebrates the spirit of autumn.
