Introduction to Flower Casting

Flower casting, or botanical bas-relief, is an artistic technique where flowers and plants are pressed into a clay mold to capture their intricate details, and then plaster is poured over this mold to create a raised relief cast. The process involves arranging delicate plant material on wet clay, removing the plants after they've left an imprint, and then pouring plaster to form a permanent keepsake. These casts can be left plain or painted to highlight the captured textures and patterns, preserving ephemeral beauty in a tangible, long-lasting form. Create your own unique plaster cast tile using clay and plaster. You will be working with seasonal plants, natural materials, seed pods impressing images onto clay and using plaster to create the cast. All materials are included.

Appliqué with Deborah Dorward

We're very excited to have Deborah Dorward author of 'Stitches of Time' teaching her wonderful style of Appliqué here at Cowslip once again. She draws inspiration from antique quilts and is especially inspired by Folk Art quilts and Cross Stitch wall hangings. She prefers to work with reproduction fabrics as she enjoys the history and the senses of “being here before” that speaks to her but likes to choose brighter more interesting prints. Hand quilting is a particular passion of hers and she tries to hand quilt all her quilts when possible as she prefers the softness hand quilting gives to a quilt. You can choose to work on any of her patterns (pattern cost is payable to Deborah on the day) or you can choose any project from her book, please let us know which project you would like to do so that Deborah can bring the pattern/templates. She will also have several new quilts to choose from. Please bring a hand sewing kit
