“Pressed to Impress:” Creative Flower Pressing

Spend a creative summer afternoon exploring the art of pressed flowers in this relaxed, hands-on workshop inspired by the Walled Garden at The Hugo Burge Foundation.

July 30, 2026

Led by Nick Unsworth, the session combines practical instruction, time spent in the garden, and guided making, resulting in a finished pressed flower wall hanging to take home.

You’ll learn simple flower-pressing techniques, gather seasonal blooms, and use a microwave flower press to preserve your finds. Using a beautiful selection of pre-pressed flowers and foliage, you’ll then create your own pressed flower wall hanging, anything from a minimalist botanical specimen to a more expressive and complex floral composition.

No prior experience is required and all materials will be provided. Attendees will leave with a finished artwork and the skills to continue pressing flowers at home with their own microwave press.

If you would like to attend but find cost to be a barrier, please email emma@hugoburgefoundation.org.
