Summer Holidays: Flower Pressing Workshop
Join artist Zoë Eady for a flower-pressing session, using locally gathered plants and flowers from around Leeds. Create beautiful botanical artworks as we explore ways to extract the natural colours of seasonal plants and fill in our nature inspired sketchbooks.
Please note this is a drop in session running throughout the day and suitable for all ages.
This workshop is designed as part of our summer holiday programme- Hocus Crocus
