Learn how to gather and use pressed flora and fauna to create beautiful works of art with local artist Mary Garcia. This hands-on class will begin by exploring Cave Creek Farm as we collect and chat about the best plants to work with, how to prep them for the press, and demonstrate both quick and traditional methods of pressing. The remainder of the workshop will be spent arranging unique compositions of pre-pressed dried flowers and foliage on candles, clothing and other assemblages.
