If you ask someone why they don’t buy fresh flowers, a common answer is that they’ll wilt. Eventually, the once-beautiful blooms will end up in the compost or trash, a sad end for something so pretty. But that doesn’t have to happen. No, you can’t keep flowers alive forever, but you can preserve their colors and delicate petal shapes through flower pressing. The practice dates back centuries, and artisans today are carrying on the tradition by flattening roses, daisies, and more, and arranging them into two-dimensional works of art.
While flower pressing might sound simple, achieving aesthetically pleasing results and preserving a botanical’s characteristics can be challenging. Having someone take you through the tools and approaches to pressing flowers will help you become more successful in your projects. For that, enroll in artist Anna Zakirova’s online class titled Beyond Bouquets: Turning Pressed Flowers Into One-of-a-Kind Art, available only on My Modern Met Academy.
Zakirova is an incredible floral artist who uses what she’s pressed as the raw materials for her framed art. After removing flowers from a book or press, she arranges the elements into collage-like compositions. Throughout her one-hour class, she shares many tips and tricks she’s learned over the years working with botanicals. You’ll learn everything you need to know to replicate this art for yourself.
