How to press flowers properly
I have developed this method of pressing flowers over decades of practice. It focuses on understanding moisture, timing, and respecting the unique structure of each flower so they retain their natural vibrant color, do not turn brown or mold and maintain a beautiful shape with smooth petals. My approach does not use heat, chemicals, color masking, or deconstruction. It relies on technique, patience, and skill.
This method has been taught to over 8,000 students worldwide.
