Embrace the beauty of the season with the timeless tradition of flower pressing! Join us for a laid-back beginner bookbinding class where you’ll craft your very own Traveler’s Flower Press Book—a perfect companion for capturing nature’s blooms.

If you have never made a book, don’t worry. This is a beginner book, with no stitching and step-by-step instructions along the way. All supplies are included.

This beautiful book features sturdy wooden covers adorned with fine papers from around the world, a bookcloth spine, and six pages dedicated to pressing your flowers. Its compact size and ribbon closure make it the ideal addition to your pack or purse for a scenic walk or hike.

Every step of the way, Claire Formilan from Beyond the Fold Paperie will guide you with expert instruction, teaching you how to create your book and sharing her top flower pressing tips. Plus, we’ll have plenty of time to press a few flowers together to kickstart your collection!

You’ll leave with your new handmade Travelers Flower Press Book, flowers that you press, and a fresh joy for connecting to nature.

No experience necessary. Ages 15+ years welcome, or 10-14 years with an adult participant.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

Hi! I’m Claire Formilan, the owner of Beyond the Fold Paperie. I started working with paper in 1993, making a basic ribbon bound photo album. I fell in love with the colors, textures process of paper and bookmaking. Over the years I enjoyed learning many different sewn books.

I’ve been teaching bookmaking and paper crafts for over five years. It was my long time love for all things paper that led me to teaching bookmaking, origami, flower pressing, and all sorts of other creative adventures.
