Floristry and Natural Fibres 19.5.26

🍃 Printing with Leaves & Stamp Ink Pads 🍃

The Floristry class explored the beauty of nature through creative leaf printing using coloured stamp ink pads. Using a variety of foraged leaves, looking closely at their different shapes, textures, and vein patterns before transforming them into unique prints on paper.

By gently pressing the leaves onto the ink pads and stamping them onto card and paper, we created beautiful natural designs full of colour and detail. Each print was completely different, showing just how diverse and artistic nature can be.

This activity encouraged creativity, fine motor skills, observation, and an appreciation for the natural world — while also being a lot of fun! 🌿🎨

It was wonderful to see everyone experimenting with layering colours, mixing leaf shapes, and creating their own botanical artworks. A lovely blend of art, nature, and imagination. ✨
