BLOOM
A Creative Mentorship with Tricia Paoluccio
BLOOM isn’t just a course —it’s a creative journey, a mentorship, and a powerful invitation to step fully into your voice as an artist. If you've been pressing flowers and want to go deeper — in your craft, your confidence, and your creative identity — BLOOM is for you.
This is about more than just technique. It’s about developing a true creative practice, unlocking your unique style, and amplifying the artist already within you.
Unlike other self-guided courses where you’re on your own, I’ll be with you every step of the way, offering support, guidance and feedback in real time.
More than anything, BLOOM is about helping you grow — not just as a flower artist, but as a creative soul.
Let’s BLOOM, together.
What’S THE BLOOM EXPERIENCE LIKE?
“The growth that emerged from BLOOM, and the impact of Tricia’s master flower pressing experience blew me away. I was not anticipating how beautiful the connection to the group would be. We all came into the mentorship with different goals, styles, and levels of expertise - yet we were united and grew together. It’s rare in the creative industry to find an artist who openly shares their journey, techniques, and resources. Tricia has a light and confidence that touches every person she encounters. I can’t recommend BLOOM enough to those who want to invest in their creative journey. It was worth every penny. ”
“BLOOM has been a transformative experience! It challenged me to learn, experiment, and step out of my comfort zone, all of which resulted in significantly improving my skills pressing and preserving flowers. Tricia’s nurturing environment, combined with the invaluable knowledge shared among participants made this journey truly exceptional. I’m now equipped with a deeper understanding of flower preservation and a newfound confidence in my abilities. The BLOOM mentorship not only taught me about art - it allowed me to blossom personally and artistically. ”
“I’ve been following Tricia for years and was always so impressed with her work. When she offered a mentorship, I didn’t really know what to expect, but the experience was beyond what I could have ever imagined. The attention she gave to each student and the time she spent answering questions with like having a personal flower pressing coach. Something else I really admired is how normal and real Tricia is. Her being so relatable was that I didn’t realize would be important going through a mentorship. To top it all off, the other participants were so supportive, and encouraging, and wonderful to be in a group with. I can’t wait for the next round! ”
A PEEK INSIDE:
THE MENTORSHIP
What makes BLOOM different from taking a regular online course is that once you are in the mentorship, you’re in for life. You’ll have access to the videos, but more importantly, you’ll be in the private BLOOM community, which is the only place I do 1-on-1 coaching and give feedback on your artistic process and product in real time. It’s also the only place I teach how to start a flower pressing business. Not only will you be with me, but with other passionate flower pressers from all over the world, sharing their knowledge, expertise, and experience in this art and industry.
Here’s what to expect:
LIVE bi monthly Zoom calls for 1:1 coaching in a group setting
Real time feedback via private Facebook group
Prompts and challenges to stretch your artistry
Community support and collaboration
How to create your pressed flower business (if you’re on that path)
Graduation into the Modern Pressed Collective
The Modern Pressed Collective
Upon completion of BLOOM, you’ll be part of the Modern Pressed Collective — a group of trusted artists I’ve taught and mentored, whose work I know and feel confident in recommending for commissions and events all over the world. I hire Bloom graduates to work alongside me and for me because I know and trust you.
FROM THE COLLECTIVE:
“Since BLOOM, I’ve been slowly and quietly applying all the things I’ve learned. I recently hosted my first exhibition, something I never imagined I’d be brave enough to do. I even pressed carrots and tiny tomatoes! Honestly, I wouldn’t have had the courage or skills to try that if it weren’t for the warmth and encouragement from Tricia and the beautiful people in the group. Being surrounded by such generous and kind souls really stayed with me. — Johanna Hui (The Gallery J)
“Participating in BLOOM opened doors to professional opportunities I didn't know were possible. Through Tricia's recommendation, I was invited to collaborate with a brand, turning my passion into paid a partnership. Her encouragement and support have been instrumental in helping me pursue my small business dreams. I am now leading my own local flower pressing workshops—something I may never have pursued without Tricia’s belief and constant encouragement to share our talents with the world.
Taking the BLOOM class is more than just learning a craft—it's an investment in yourself. Tricia helps you realize that everyone is an artist, and that creativity deserves to be nurtured. Whether you're new to flower pressing or looking to elevate your craft, all of Tricia’s courses offer invaluable knowledge and inspiration. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone passionate about pressed floral art.”
