First Friday: Flower Power—The Art of Pressed Flower Collage

Winter may be around the corner but Poster House is keeping summer alive by making art with FLOWERS! In celebration of the beautiful botanical illustrations on view in Blazing a Trail: Dorothy Waugh’s National Parks Posters, join other museum visitors in a pressed-flower collage workshop. Participants will use the principles of traditional collage as well as oshibana (the Japanese art of making images with pressed flowers) to make fun pictures and even typography from gorgeous flowers. The instructor will also provide a primer on how to press and preserve flowers for future use. 

Pressed flowers and materials will be provided.

Accessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum. Assistive listening devices and stools are available. ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation or a CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) is also available upon request.
