Sundays, September 10 & September 17, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern – Turning Flowers into Art, Online

Explore multiple ways to bring the beauty of dried flowers into your home. In the first New York Botanical Garden online session, you’ll discover tips on which flower types will last the longest, how to gather, press, and preserve them, and when to use which materials, such as glycerin and silica gel. Then, use the flowers you’ve dried to explore making art by painting the flowers to print with, hammering them onto watercolor paper for an embossed look, or pressing them directly on paper. Classes will take place September 10 and 17 from 2 – 4, with instructor Madeline Yanni. NYBG members $90, nonmembers $100. Register at www.nybg.org

Please note, this course requires the purchase of materials. Please refer to the Materials List linked on the Registration Page for more information.
