Botanical Greeting Cards
$150.00 | 10AM-4PM | All materials included
Let nature inspire a set of beautiful one-of-a-kind greeting cards! In this workshop, you’ll use elements of cyanotype and monoprinting to make impressions of plant matter and other found or foraged items for custom greeting cards.
Experimenting with multiple methods and materials to create designs ranging from elegant and sweet to bold and complex, you’ll leave with a set of twelve cards appropriate for many kinds of occasions. Some plant and found materials will be available from the press gardens, but feel free to bring your own dried plant and found matter too if you’d like.
No prior experience is necessary and all materials included. Appropriate for ages 14 and up. Sonia will prepare the materials ready for you to assemble and use her teaching experiences accumulated for over a decade to make accessible the materials, tools, and techniques you'll use to bring everything together into a set of unique greeting cards for any occasion.
