Flower Printmaking at Sherman Gardens

Learn to make botanical prints with flowers and leaves.  By using a mallet to lightly “pound” flowers and leaves, you will release their natural dyes onto paper to make prints.  Create a variety of printed projects that you will be able to use or give as a gift, including cards, gift tags and bookmarks. Once the prints have dried, you will embellish them further by adding details with fine line ink markers and watercolor pencils.

Class instructor, Alexandra Ito, will provide all of the materials that you need to make your printed cards and bookmarks, but you might like to bring a few flowers from your own garden to see how they can be used to create a print.
