PROFESSIONAL ARTIST SERIES
Our Professional Artist Series was such a success, we’re bringing it back! This BREC Art program is a great way to introduce our community to higher-end art experiences and to offer learning opportunities taught by local professional artists.
Pressed Flora Workshop with Botanical Artist Connie McLeod
Join us for a personal, hands-on flora pressing workshop. Participants will learn the basics of pressing flora for optimal results, be guided through placement of the pressed plants, and finish the workshop by creating a beautiful piece of framed pressed flower art. All supplies provided.
