Overview

A contemporary take on a classic art form, this book pushes the boundaries of pressed leaves and flowers to create uniquely beautiful works of art.

Discover how to combine leaves and flowers to create stunning collaged artworks.

Leading flower artist Jennie Ashmore brings the art of pressing leaves and flowers to life in this glorious guide. Through simple instructions, step-by-step demonstrations, and beautiful illustrations, she shows how to collect, place, press, and embellish a variety of natural materials to create unique works of art that convey a strong sense of time and place.

Following the success of her previous book, The Art of Pressed Flowers and Leaves, Ashmore provides a focus on a wider range of plants, often locally sourced. Other groundbreaking techniques include how to design within different shapes such as circles, capturing seasonal color, and experimenting with rubbings, handmade paper, collagraph printing, and plant-extracted inks.
