The team created a friendly and supportive atmosphere, making the session really enjoyable. We would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and rewarding activity.
- 5/5 from Gabriella Smith, attended Aug 2026: We had such a fun time doing this class! It was the perfect craft for a relaxed hen do, and worked really well for a large group! Niki was so kind, thoughtful and helpful throughout the organisation of the class and the actual class and everyone was so pleased with their creations:) thank you!
- 5/5 from Gina, attended Aug 2026: Absolutely — here’s a polished version that keeps your warm, personal tone while making it flow a little more naturally: Writing Thank you to Botanica and Field for such an immersive and engaging workshop. I learnt so much about drying and pressing flowers, and then had the opportunity to create my own piece of art from scratch. It was wonderful to experience that free-flow feeling that only creativity can bring, in such an inspiring and enjoyable space. Niki, the host, made me feel completely relaxed and genuinely like anything was achievable. I highly recommend her workshops to anyone looking for some relaxed, creative you-time.
- 5/5 from Jane Blanchard, attended Aug 2026: We really enjoyed the class. We had never done anything like this before. There was enough instruction to get us going without feeling overwhelmed. The atmosphere was friendly and encouraging. It was amazing how everyone made lovely artwork but each piece was very different in style. Somehow the process had found something unique in each of us.
- 5/5 from Phyllida Holliday, attended Nov 2025: Had a lovely time with my friend getting creative with pressed botanicals. Workshop was great and talked you through the whole process and we got to take our lovely creations home with us the same day. Highly recommend
- 5/5 from Cleo Bowen, attended Nov 2025: Very relaxed and down-to-earth experience. There was enough time for the activities and to talk with the workshop leader who was very approachable and knowldegable. Would recommend for a nice activity with a friend (and make some new ones)!
- 5/5 from Sirisa Clark, attended Nov 2025: Such a great class and a really lovely teacher. We practiced lifting pressed flowers from the press, and selecting and pressing flowers. The teacher taught us techniques for handling the flowers, ensuring a good press, and colouring flowers that have lost their colour. Then we created our own artworks arranging and gluing pressed flowers. A really relaxed and welcoming studio, a fun class and a beautiful result at the end!
- 5/5 from Nancy, attended Sep 2025: Such an amazing afternoon at Niki’s pressed flower artwork course. I chatted with my friends whilst being creative, what more could you want! Niki was so informative and knowledgeable. She easily answered any questions. I highly recommended her courses, so much time, love and energy have gone into creating these workshops.
- 5/5 from Nicola Wiles, attended Sep 2025: The workshop was wonderful, very relaxed and a creative space. Nikki was so helpful and lovely, answering any questions I had. Would highly recommend
- 5/5 from Sandra Collazo, attended Sep 2025: I attended the pressed flowers workshop and thoroughly enjoyed it. I learned how to press flowers, the technique of colour correction and then putting it all together in a final piece of artwork. Our teacher, Nicki was very good in giving us the right amount of instruction and space to be creative. The plant material available was impressive and everything was beautifully presented and organised.
- 5/5 from Sharon Smith, attended Sep 2025: Me and my two daughters really enjoyed this workshop and were really amazed at the lovely pictures we made.
- 5/5 from Annie, attended Sep 2025: Brilliant workshop with the loveliest host, Niki! Niki is so knowledgeable and passionate about this and was great at explaining the process from start to finish. Her approach was very relaxed and inspirational, giving us lots of interesting information about technique and history of flower pressing as well as ideas about colour and composition. Loved learning about the whole flower pressing process from prepping and putting colour back into pressed flowers to walking away with a finished framed piece, all in 3 hours. Had lots of fun and also found it be to very relaxing! Would highly recommend to anyone interested in doing something fun, educational and creative.
