FLOWER POUNDING with Brenda Nickerson

Flower pounding, or Tatakizome, is an ancient Japanese technique of hammering plants to create patterns on fabric. It is a very simple technique that renders gorgeous results. All you need is fresh flowers, a hammer and either paper, canvas or fabric to transfer the flower “dye”.

Learn the basics of flower pounding: which flowers and/or leaves work well and how hard to pound to get the desired results.

Cost is $10 per person. Seating is limited.
