DALAL 005 · Bloom / Paper & Words
Pressed Flowers & Paper
A quiet afternoon of botanical composition and small gestures.
A quiet afternoon of botanical composition using pressed flowers, paper and small gestures.
You work with prepared pressed flowers and foliage, arranging delicate compositions on textured paper — moving a stem a millimetre, and then moving it back.
Drawing or painting can be part of it if you want. Nothing is academic here; it is tactile, contemplative and open to anyone.
- No experience required.
- You can come alone.
- No perfect result expected.
