Make it With MoFA: Pressed Flowers
On Thursday, February 25th, at 6 PM, join us for an evening full of floral fun, Make it With MoFA: Pressed Flowers!
In this virtual workshop-style event, MoFA interns Cole Hancock, Lydia Liu, and Cay Davis will lead you through the process of pressing flowers using the microwave method and tour a few of the works featured in our current exhibition #MementoVitae. You’ll need flowers, a microwave, paper, and a heavy flat weight like a brick or casserole dish. If you don’t have access to a microwave, no problem! We’ll go over two additional methods of pressing flowers for you to try out after the event. This event is free, virtual, and open to the public.
