“Tucked away in the lushness of the Dandenong Ranges, this is a 4 day immersive experience that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and creatively connect with the unique landscape that surrounds this beautiful part of the world, where I’ve called home for the past 40 years.” - Jo Horswill

This workshop is not just about technique, but also about cultivating a deeper way of working with nature.

Each process - from gathering leaves to tying a bundle, watching cyanotypes emerge in sunlight - becomes an act of slowing down.

You’ll be invited to experiment with layered surfaces, using botanical printmaking techniques that reveal the stories plants hold.

  • Botanical Contact Print on Paper

  • Experimental Cyanoflora/Cyanotype

Whether you are new to botanical printing or seeking to deepen your practice or just wanting to be a part of a wonderful creative experience, this gathering will offer a nurturing supported environment where curiosity and creativity can flourish.

By the end of our 4 days together, you will leave with a collection of unique botanical prints and a handmade botanical book of plant stories.
