Pressed to Keep: A Botanical Printing Experience —
a two-day, in-person creative retreat where you’ll learn to gather, press, and print botanicals onto paper and fabric, creating pieces shaped by the season, the land, and your own hands.
With gentle, step-by-step guidance, a thoughtfully prepared setting, and all materials provided, you’ll step into a dedicated space to create — perfect for beginners or those returning to a creative practice.
- Botanical Printing Experience – learn eco-printing techniques on paper and fabric using leaves and flowers gathered from the land.
- Guided, Step-byStep Instructions – demonstrations offered with care, allowing you to move steadily without pressure or overwhelm.
- All Materials Provided – paper, fabric, botanicals, and tools are thoughtfully prepared so you can arrive and begin.
- A Set-Apart Creative Space – two days, intentionally held for making, so creativity becomes something you experience, not postpone.
- Sharing Meals & Thoughtful Rhythm – meals are provided so you can remain present and fully immersed throughout the day.
- A Completed Body of Work – leave with botanical prints, pressed materials, and a process you can return to at home (as well as a gentle surprise gift!).
- Private Community Access – continue the experience inside the Gabi Brown Art app, where you can stay connected, share your work, and get to know others from the gathering.
- Live Music Experience – an evening with The Arcadian Wild, woven into the rhythm of your time on the land.
