Gain a contemporary introduction to the art of Oshibana, a centuries-old tradition of making art with pressed plant materials. Discover Instructor Susan McChesney's personal techniques of pressing, unpressing, storing, collaging and sealing plant material, with a focus on blooms from our area's beautiful flower farms or from your own garden. Explore perspective, value and composition while collaging your own artwork. With your first floral creation with Susan, you might well decide to deepen your own practice of Oshibana, preserving and creating floral art! All supplies are included in the registration.
Susan McChesney is a longtime educator and visual artist who has broadened her experiences to focus on pressed flower art. She lives and works in Western North Carolina, pressing florals and creating collages representing the natural world and mountainous landscapes. A particular joy is sharing her techniques and perspectives with other flower enthusiasts, enabling them to create their own floral preservation artworks.
