Botanical Imprints of the Mediterranean workshop
This workshop merges artistic expression with an exploration of Mediterranean flora. Participants are introduced to local aromatic and medicinal plants such as lavender, immortelle, rosemary, and sage, which they then press using a contemporary technique involving a botanical press and microwave. The resulting botanical imprints are used to create personal postcards, bookmarks, or small visual compositions. The process invites reflection on impermanence, the beauty of detail, and nature as a living memory of the Mediterranean. ©Photos Tanja Kanazir / Natali Bosić

Botanical Imprints of the Mediterranean workshop
This workshop combines artistic expression with the exploration of Mediterranean flora. Participants discover local aromatic and medicinal plants such as lavender, immortelle, rosemary, and sage, which they then press using a contemporary technique combining a botanical press and a microwave. The resulting botanical prints are used to create personal postcards, bookmarks, or small visual compositions. This process invites reflection on impermanence, the beauty of detail, and nature as the living memory of the Mediterranean.
This workshop merges artistic expression with a sensory and reflective exploration of Mediterranean flora. Rooted in a deep appreciation for the natural world, it invites participants to connect with their surroundings through sight, touch, and scent. At the heart of the experience are local aromatic plants—lavender, immortelle, rosemary, sage, and others—each carrying the scent, form, and essence of the Mediterranean landscape. Using a combination of botanical pressing and a contemporary microwave-drying technique, they preserve delicate plant specimens, capturing their beauty before time fades them.
These botanical impressions are then transformed into personal visual pieces: postcards, bookmarks, or small compositions on paper.
This workshop encourages slowness and attentiveness, blending artistic technique with moments of contemplation and connection. It is suitable for all participants aged 7 and above, and requires no prior art experience—only curiosity and a willingness to engage with the natural world in a creative, tactile way.
