How to press flowers

Make art from your garden. - by Johanna Griggs AM
  • 04 Mar 2022

Exploring Colleen’s studio, Johanna learns how Colleen draws on the beauty of her garden and the natural landscape as a constant source of inspiration to create her very wonderful and intricate paper sculptures. From her roots, hand-drawing landscape designs to creating three dimensional images of native flora and fauna, Colleen’s work now borders on botany. Not content to just admire the work, Johanna gets a lesson in flower pressing, showing us how anyone can elevate their next gardening session to art.
